Visit to Manly.....Rideing the Wave.

Saturday 18th May 2013

Day off in Manly

Manly is one of Australia's most loved, most frequently visited scenic sea-side tourist destinations.

World famous, 2.4 kilometre (1.5-mile) Pacific beach and stunning harbour views, Manly offers a wide variety of other incomparable, exciting attractions and activities for people of all ages. It is home to the Manly Freshwater World Surfing Reserve, one of only three in the world.

Surrounded by the Pacific Ocean and spectacular Harbour. Manly sits on a beautiful peninsula, seven nautical miles north-east of Sydney.

Overview.

Today was about taking some time out of the City and a time to reflect so far.

This morning I was up nice and early. Rather than walk I decided to catch the train from Central Station to Circular Quay. Once there I caught the ferry which takes about 30 minutes costing £10 return (well worth it).

With being on the ferry I seen Sydney Harbour & The Opera House the view was amazing. As I got on the ferry seats were all taken, however I seen one right at the front ( something off titanic....) there I sat.

Once at Manly I took a stroll around the shops before heading to the beach. The view was unbelievable. I decided to relax and sit back to take it all in (went for a dip)

During the course of the day I spent a good view hours there. This is something I would recommend to anyone who decides to visit Sydney.
