Visiting Manly


Manly beach... surfer class
Sunday we enjoyed our discount to all trains, ferries, busses to and around Sydney.  We drove to the train station and rode the train right down into the heart of Sydney.  Musicians and entertainers and out, the outdoor cafes are filled up, the sunshine was perfect and it was a perfect day!  We got right onto the Manly ferry that goes from Sydney up to Manly which takes you to a thin strip of land on the edge of the ocean/harbor where there are miles and miles of bike riding trails, surfer classes, BBQ grills out for the public to use, snorkelers and scuba divers, joggers, bikers, skaters, jazz on the main plaza area.  It was a nice mix of San Diego and Hawaii.

While hiking around we saw a super cool Eastern Water Dragon (cool lizard).   He just loved sitting on the rocks while we're all walking by and taking pics of him. 

Sail boats were everywhere and along the ferry ride you can see that each little beach and cove of the harbor was full of their own little event.  Everyone here is excited that spring has arrived so that makes it really fun to enjoy the outdoors with everyone here!

We took the train back to our quiet little town and picked up some fresh naan bread from the local Indian Restraurant and made our own excellent version of Tikki Masala:)  Yum!!!  Watched the Final Women's Singles at the US Open and was glad Kim Clijsters won... but sorry it wasn't much of a match. 

Miss you all and more to come! Enjoy the pics.  More photos online at www.fotki.com/williams
