After a great night's sleep (which I in particular needed) Jody and I were off again the next morning trekking downtown to the wharf for a 30 minute ferry ride to Manly Beach.
On the way to the wharf, we had to take this picture of "Hungry Jack's", the Australian name for "Burger King".
At the wharf we saw this incredibly long line. It was for a Game Of Thrones exhibit. The waiting time was up to SIX HOURS. Why? Because it was free. I really wanted to go, but had to forgo the opportunity. Too much to do, so little time.
Sydney likes to connect with its past as this colonial suits up at the ferry. Must be a great gig if you can get it.
Carnival Cruise Lines is EVERYWHERE!
Different views of the Opera House as we floated by on the ferry.
Sydney is far behind.
A 10 minute walk through the town where I bought my first "hoodie" due to the wind.
A pristine beach.
Jody wore my new hoodie for awhile as we took a long walk and hike along the seashore.
Scuba diving in the beautiful clear waters. COLD even with a wet suit as one female diver told us later.
There was lots of beach artwork along the way.
I can't believe these young people in this cold water just wearing bathing suits.
Jody and I decided to hike up to the top of the cliff on the right for the view.
Jody at the summit.
This picture and the next several show the fascinating metal artwork by local artists embedded in the rocks on our return trip to the wharf.
Kayaking too. We would have loved that.
What a beautiful sunset.
A great carnival view from the ferry. I did not know at the time that the next morning I would be visiting this site on my 5-hour bike tour.
Sunset at the Sydney Opera House.
Jody from the ferry with the Opera House barely visible in the background as we end our second day Sydney journey, have another great dining experience on Darling Harbor, and prepare for another action packed day on Friday.
