We're on the Wrong Ferry

How silly can you be?
During our stay in Sydney we were invited by Julie of Sydney Eye to a luncheon with some other bloggers. After an enjoyable meeting, lunch and view of the harbour it was time to find our way back to our daughter's apartment in Vaucluse. It was a short walk down the hill to Circular Quay. We knew to catch the Watson's Bay Ferry from terminal 4 and alight at Rose Bay. Sounds easy. When we arrived, there was a ferry leaving for Cremorne, so we knew not to catch that one. The next ferry came on the other side of the terminal but the indicator board was blank. We assumed it was the correct boat and boarded. To our dismay it turned west instead of east and we knew something was wrong. DOH! The silly seniors were on the wrong ferry. So we had a half hour tour of the harbour and ended up back at Circular Quay.  We had to wait another half hour for the Watson's Bay Ferry. So I looked around for something to photograph.
The big Manly Ferry left. The opera house became visible.


This time the indicator boards were working and we were at Rose bay in fifteen minutes, where our daughter picked us up and drove us home. Thank goodness for mobile phones.
