Australia Day 7 - International Fleet Review

Finally, our last post about Australia! 

When we booked our trip to Sydney, we had no idea we would be there during the International Fleet Review - a grand event to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Australian Navy!  Quite a celebration was planned and we were right there in the middle of all the excitement!  At least 20 countries sent warships or tall ships to participate - even Prince Harry came for the review (unfortunately we did not see him)!   






After enjoying the morning festivities, we went back to our room to have a quick lunch and found a lovely surprise from the hotel's restaurant supervisor!  He thanked us for letting his team serve us breakfast each morning and gave us a bottle of sparkling wine and Ava a Koala!  What a delightful surprise it was! 


Enjoying our afternoon with beer and playtime!

Are you sure about this?!

I LOVE to run!!!

We had a picnic for dinner as we waited for the fireworks to start!  It was a magnificent show, especially with the Opera House as the backdrop!  We loved how they used it as a projector to tell their story!  Definitely one of the best firework displays we've ever seen!
