Waking in Manly, Australia

My second week in Australia I had the rare opportunity to stay in the village of Manly, the northern section of Sydney, (New South Wale's capital)- for free! It turned out that my friend had a distant cousin living there who invited our group to stay with her for 4 days. We jumped on the opportunity and took the ferry across the water from Sydney to the Manly wharf.

We arrived at night, long after the sun had gone down, our surroundings unknown. Waking up in Manly we were struck with this amazing panoramic view, Cockatoos and a Cookaburras! Then we watched in awe as a whale spouted water in the harbour- Hello Australia! Below is the green and yellow Sydney ferry arriving at the Manly Wharf. Particularly attractive to young travellers and surfers, Manly is home to one of the most popular Surf Schools and famous for it's penguins and fresh seafood. In the distance you can see the famous 3-towered Cardinal Cerretti Memorial Chapel where Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban were married. Pics of Manly Harbour, Manly Beach and Manly Walking Strip to come!
