Tuesday was a beautiful sunny day and a great one to be out on the water. Wed decided to go ahead with something we'd seen on our first day, Jetboating. It was really good fun and definitely a different way to see the harbour. We went ll the way up the harbour to the entrance and saw all the places and bays that we've been to before. We went to Watsons Bay, Balmoral, Mosman Bay and all a lot quicker than we could have got there any other way! We were going at speeds of up to 80kph doing slides, spins, fishtails and sudden stops. All in all a very fun but wet morning!
Today was another sunny day and we were happy to stick to our plan of going the 7 miles to Manly (7 miles from Sydney, a thousand miles from care apparently!!). We arrived at midday and took a stroll down the main high street, towards the ocean surfing beach. There are lots of surfing shops amongst cool little cafes, nice for a stroll around. The beach itself is huge with good waves all along it. This being the case I thought it would be rude not to hire a board so went along, got one and went surfing for an hour. It was really fun, great exercise and really good to be out on the water again. Megan stayed on shore and read, took photos and acted as timekeeper for me. The beach is lined with really tall pines which look nice but cause massive shadows as soon as the sun drops even a little bit. By 3pm it was pretty chilly with most of the beach in shade so we headed back up to the front and had a cup of tea to warm up. On the way back to the ferry we popped into the surf shops and indulged ourselves on t-shirts! Ended up leaving Manly at about 5pm so we managed to make a good day of our trip.
