Sydney Harbour and Manly Beach

I started the day with a migraine but after loads of caffeine (in the form of espresso) and ibuprofen (Neurofen here in Australia) and Tylenol (Panadol here in Australia), I managed to make it upright. As the day sort of cleared up - I decided I should make use of the ferries and check out some of the Sydney sights.

Here is the first ferry I took leaving from Circular Quay:



Finally - proof I am indeed in Sydney! :)



Pretty Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge:












I then went to the famous Manly Beach where pro-surfers from around the world come to surf here. It was a bit gloomy out but I did see some surfers out. The surf didn't seem very high. But what do I know?





Then, I went to a fantastic restaurant at the end of the walking path - Le Kiosk. Seriously? Best meal in Australia so far. I started with Sydney Rock Oysters and a glass of Australian Chandon Brut. 2 were natural and 2 were warm - all were excellent. I then had the Blue Crab Tagliatelle (entree portion) 'cause I couldn't eat too much more, but darn if I didn't wish I got the main portion size! :) The crab melted in your mouth, the tagliatelle was just perfect. Mmmmm.



Btw, I love my Kindle - I take it EVERYWHERE!



On my way back to the ferry, I saw this:



I can't believe the mother let her kids climb this 1) because it probably shouldn't be climbed on and 2) her kids were little and this thing was high - with nothing but concrete below! What if they fell head first???!!!
