Nice summer day out, and Queen Victoria viewing

Since we finally had a sunny day on a Saturday, we decided to take full advantage of it.
We started out with a dip in the pool, then we packed the picnic trolley and went down to Circular Quay where the Queen Victoria had just come dock.
This is her maiden voyage. As you can see, the ship is absolutely massive, by far the largest ship I've ever seen (although there are even larger cruise ships out there). On Sunday the Queen Elizabeth 2 (from the same fleet) will also be docking here, and they will pass each other in the Harbour. We'll be there taking more pics :)

We finished off the afternoon with a picnic in the Royal Botanical Gardens, which overlooks the Opera House and the Harbour.
