Day 3: Monday 5 January 2026 - Rest Day in Sydney

We managed some sleep but our body clocks are still all over the place and we awoke at about 3.30 am. We were very hungry having not eaten much on the flight yesterday so we went for breakfast as soon as we could at 6.30. We have access to the Millesime Lounge and what a treat it was. There was an extensive buffet and a host of things we could order to be cooked fresh. We made the most of what was available!

We spent the morning revisiting places we'd been to on previous trips - the Botanic Gardens, a visit to the viewpoint at Mrs MacQuaries Point. We really couldn't get enough of the view of the Harbour Bridge and Opera House. We walked back beside the harbour and past the Opera House where we stopped for à welcome drink.

We could see Celebrity Edge which is the ship we'll be going on waiting for passengers to embark. 

By this time it was starting to get very warm so we returned to the hôtel for a rest and a look at the Ashes.

After a short nap, we went to the Millésime Lounge for a lovely afternoon tea of sandwiches, pastries and cream scones.
