Dinner and a show

Tonight was the dinner cruise. We took a shuttle to Darling Harbor, then boarded a large, slow moving boat that took us around the harbor area. It was a limited menu, and there was a complimentary glass of champagne. 

We all enjoyed an appetizer, and somewhere in the middle of the entrée, our tour director went to tell the singer that a couple in her group was due to get married in Fiji very soon. We got dessert with a candle on top, and a special nod from the band. Of course, I was mildly embarrassed.

Once the dinner and dessert was finished and the wine was gone, we went up the last flight of stairs on the boat to the star deck. It was a nice view of the harbor, and it was really interesting to see the bridge and the opera house at night.

That's about as pretty as I could manage. The whole thing was gorgeous.

Tomorrow is our last full day in Sydney, and we are going to a nature preserve, where I am told we will be able to pet koalas. Evidently, it is incorrect to refer to them as koala bears. Turns out, they are not bears. I plan to research this further tomorrow when I am able to discuss it at length with one of them. I will keep you posted.
