Queen Comes to Town

The Queen Mary 2 was in town for a day last week. She's the largest and most expensive passenger ship ever built. To witness such a historic event, people came out from everywhere to gather, picnic and party to the magnificent sight of the Ship. I really could not believe that soooo many of these Sydneysiders (and many tourists too) would take a day off from whatever they did, just to sit around and awe in amazement at the Ship.

Here are some pics i took of her. And the crowds.

The large crowds brought about chaotic traffic bringing it to a standstill. I guess the sight of the Ship is quite amazing and all, but if i were stuck in traffic and not enjoying the Ship scene, i would be pretty upset. Like, what's the big deal? it's just a big ship!!! Not like we'd get a free ride or something. Luckily, the Ship scene was comfortably within my walking distance.
