We took the ferry out to
Manly Beach on the 31
st, since we expected (correctly) most everything else to be closed. Unfortunately, the storm that had been pounding the coast north of
Sydney sent some tremendous waves down to visit, and thus the beach was closed as well. But the ferry back and forth offers tremendous views of the harbor, bridge, and opera house so all was worth while.
Hunter, Farnaz, and Kendra flew out the morning of the 2nd, so Mary and I went to explore the Royal Botanic Gardens that afternoon, which were amazing! They’re huge – we only hit a tiny fraction of them, despite spending 3 hours there. Beautiful trees, flowers, and rock formations, plus a colony of flying foxes (really fruit bats) that were just starting to wake up (and screech!) as we were walking through the park.
We finished our walk by going through the Opera House and then The Rocks area of town, then headed to bed early in preparation for a 7am flight (and thus 4am wakeup).
