Dad has been up here since tuesday and most days he has been leaving early and going to the temple to do some sessions. The first day he got stuck in traffic going, so the day after he thought he'd be smart and leave an hour later and so beat the peak hour traffic on the motorways. His little plan didn't work and he was stuck again, so today he decided he'd go to Manly instead as he hasn't been for quite a few years.
If you know me at all, you know I don't like to take public transport up here, but it seems like whenever any of the family comes up we have to catch the train, for the novelty of it, Such was the case today.
I really don't mind the ferry part of the trip and today was another nice 27 degrees to go across the harbour. It's days like today, that you think, blow the traffic and transport worries and the cost of living here, but I really do live in the best city in the world. If you've never been to Sydney and taken a cruise on a ferry to Manly, then you have missed out!!
A little view as we come in
Manly beach
The Corso
Lisa said she wished she with us for an icecream. I would have sent it, but it mightn't have made it, so I had to eat it. It was delicious Marge !!
The Opera house, still quite a sight at times
The coat hanger
Tomorrow is going to be another barmy 32 degrees, so will be quite nice again.
