Sightseeing in Sydney in 1 Night

I have been to Australia before, and the lasting impression it had on me was that aside from the bikini factory outlets, and the beach, and the theme parks, all of which we enjoyed the most in Gold Coast, it was basically one BIG zoo. Hahahaha.

On this trip, I stayed a total of three nights in the city. My to do list consisted of seeing the Sydney Opera House, the Harbour Bridge, and I also wanted to do a ferry ride to Manly Beach from Circular Quay, since I remember visiting it at night eight years ago with my friend JJEB (also mentioned in my post on QVB which you can read here) and my best friend Jem... I told myself then that it was a place I wanted to visit if I found myself in Sydney again.

I conned my friend to take the ferry back with me from Luna Park Wharf
Note to Tala: You need to bring Luna Lakwatsera here!

I love riding on the ferry so much...

...that I dragged my friend to do the ferry ride to Manly with me on the same day!

We had to wait for the next ferry so I bought some Fish  & Chips to snack on

It was the best Fish & Chips I've ever had!
or I didn't realize how hungry I was

I was so impatient (nothing new there) that I was eating it even before we boarded

Pami snacked on a double scoop of gelato

We walked on the Corso to get to Manly Beach

The wind was so strong I was blown away... almost literally

Manly Beach at night

It was nice to just sit on the steps, enjoy the breeze and the sound of the sea

I wonder if I'll ever see Manly during the day

We grabbed coffee while waiting for the next ferry back

It comes with free Max Brenner chocolate

Thoroughly enjoying the view

We also saw Townhall on George Street, on the walk back to the hotel. 

and we did all that in one night. So I packed my bags and it was back to my Aunt's home Ropes Crossing for me where I have lived happily ever after... until I leave tomorrow. Hahaha... Just Saying.
