Today, along with lots of ‘Sydneysiders’, we decided to get the ferry to Manly. It is a town on the north side of Sydney which has the feeling of a holiday resort with a beautiful sandy beach. We sat on the rocks at the end of the beach for about an hour, watching the swimmers and surfers. Unfortunately we hadn’t got our swimming costumes with us, but had we got them we would have been tempted into the water- maybe we’ll go to Bondi Beach on Tuesday and take them with us then!
After eating our sandwich sitting on a wall outside the Manly Council buildings amongst the pigeons, we got the ferry to Watson Bay, which is on the south side of Sydney harbour. There was lots of activity on the water with boats of all persuasions, yachts racing about and a seaplane. It had become a bit cloudy during the afternoon and a lot of the people had decided to go home - the sky looked quite angry, however, it cleared without any rain. We took a stroll along the front, sampled a cream tea then returned back to our hotel for a light supper ‘in’ this evening!
Tomorrow we are all set to climb Sydney Harbour Bridge; having managed 910 steps in the cave yesterday, we feel we can manage a challenge like this - time will tell!
