To Manly on a ferry, one more touristy thing to cross of the list

Yesterday, a bunch of us braved the heat wave and took the ferry from Circular Quay to Manly.  Our little party consisted of: Michael, Lauren, Brett, Laura, Isabelle, Marc, Owen, Reuben and me.  We all made the trek in the 40 degree heat that was Saturday to spend the day at Manly, soaking up the atmosphere of the beach and to cross another few things off our Sydney To Do List…

  • catch the ferry to Manly (apparently this is THE thing to do on the weekend)
  • see the Harbour Bridge and the Opera House from the harbour
  • eat fish and chips followed by and ice cream at Manly.

Done, done and done :)  And we got to do all of the above with a great bunch of family and friends!

We snagged a spot in the shade and watched some of the surf carnival.

What else would you have for lunch when at Manly???
