Captain Cook Cruises

So you can take a hop-on and off cruise around Sydney harbour and it is the best way to get to the zoo. You travel from Darling Harbour, which is where I am staying


to Circular Quay, which is where the first convicts landed, and where the Opera House and Bridge are based


under the bridge


There are idiots climbing up the bridge (#nobloodyway).

Past the Opera House (look it does not rain there all the time)


And out to the zoo.


The boat has a fantastic female skipper who narrates the whole journey. Her safety talk at the start was wonderfully laconic: 'Just don't too anything stupid, OK'. She pointed out the 'silly buggers' in the bay - the American and Australian war ships that are undertaking war games this weekend, 'exciting to see such a great use of taxpayers' money' and warned about the zoo 'Just telling you now, there's no way out without goin' through a gift shop'. #girlcrush.

Am at the zoo now so will post pictures of this later. At present in the "View Restaurant", which really does have a great view (can even see one of the war ships). And look - the weather has improved!!
