Day 2: Trip to Manly

Hi again. Had another amazing day (I really should stop using all those words like amazing, great etc. as I will run out of them). I went by ferry to the peninsula of Manly, it is a kind of suburb of Sydney with beaches and a lot of nature (big national park. Already the trip in high speed boat was great, giving a good view on the Opera House, the Harbour bridge and all the small beaches with sailing boats and beautiful houses all around Sydney. I hiked about 4 1/2 hours around in the most beautiful scenery, having a look at the old defense/ army station of WWII and the Quarantine station where the immigrants where brought after arriving in Sydney by boat to make sure that they are free of deseases. Did I mention that once again the sun was shining and the temperature was just perfect. What more is there to wish for. After an early dinner I headed back, taking the train from Circular Quay to Central as I was to exhausted to walk any further. I prefer to blaim the jet lag than the age :-). I went to bed very early so at least I could sleep some hours before I got woken up by my room mates that came home and started to rummage and then when finally installed to snore. Well, thanks to earplugs I survived the night and am now ready for the next marvellous day in Sydney. Will keep you posted.
