We loved being in Sydney again even though it rained a great deal while we overnighted there. Sydney is huge and very spread out. It is a young, vibrant, active, clean city. We went to an open market where arts and crafts were sold. It was so hard not to buy at every stand. We walked a LOT, had a city tour and a harbour tour. We dined out and saw a movie. I remain in love with Sydney. Near the harbour we found a great little cafe that offered all kinds of chocolates ....:) Who could say no? My waffle above....We left at night around 10 pm only to have to circle back and dock again for an emergency medical issue. Two people left in an ambulance. 
We are now in Brisbane. Our 8 hour tour was cancelled due to rain and roads being impassable. Since David lost part of his tooth while consuming his favorite breadsticks last night, Brisbane became our dental stop. Brisbane is a lovely clean active city also. It is the state capital of Queensland. It feels like a small country town that is called a city. They have a great Mall in the center of town called Queens Mall. It is about 2 city blocks long and seems to have thousand of stores reaching out through alleys all along the main street. After our dental visit, we walked the mall and took in another movie (Nine) before heading back to the ship. Another medical emergency here so now we wait for an ambulance before we head out and North. We have 2 sea days ahead which means bridge and crafts and finding a lounge chair after lunch.....hmmmm We listen to the news of the world and are saddened by all the snow and cold weather hitting the states...:) We do sympathize. Ok, I am smiling.....
