Day 5: Wednesday 7 January 2026

We seem to be slowly adapting to the time difference.  The beds are probably the most comfortable we've ever had in a hotel and staff come in every night to tidy the bed and turn down.  We were still early into breakfast and once again ate plenty to see us through the early and middle parts of the day.

Our plan for today was to have a ride round Sydney Harbour on the ferry and have a walk round 'The Rocks'. It was another hot, extremely high UV day so we had to be careful.

The ferry boat ride to the Olympic Park was pleasant enough although we were disappointed not to be able to sit outside on the boat as we had done on previous visits.

We were surprised to find that the ferry back was packed with passengers and we were lucky to get a seat. By now it was very hot so we opted to return to Circular Quay for a drink and a browse round the shops.

We then returned to the hotel for our usual afternoon tea, some time watching the Ashes and our afternoon nap!
