I just could not resist going back to Sydney again with the amazing weather to go to Manly Beach and meet up with Marcel. So on Friday some other roomies were heading back to Sydney as well, so I got a ride with them. On Friday evening I took the train from Sam's place to Circular Quay to see the botanical gardens and some other sights in that area in the few hours I had that evening. On my way to the botanical gardens I met a British girl who's friend was doing the bridge climb, who was also trying to find the botanical gardens, so we chatted for a bit before she had to go back to her friend. By that time, I was getting hungry, so I went to "The Rocks" and got a gourmet meatball wrap at the market there. I sat down near the harbor and met a Canadian girl from Ontario doing a 1 year working holiday, so we chatted for a bit and before we knew it, it was getting dark and she had to head back to the hostel, and me back to my buddies place.

This is probably what I love most about travelling, its the totally random and interesting people you meet along the way all on different journeys.
The next day I went off to the ferry warf to go to Manly Beach and the surrounding area. I heard some good things about the area and they were right, its a spectacularly beautiful area as you can see below. I went swimming for a while and then walked around the area for a bit, where I got my last shot from.

On Sunday I made my way back to the city, to the botanical gardens and after having some difficulties, finally got a hold of Marcel, who I wanted to me while in Sydney. So we met up and had a very good (and expensive burger...worth it though) by the Opera House, before I had to make my way back to the train station to catch the last train back to Bathurst.
Overall it was a pretty good weekend and I am looking forward to this weekend as I will head back into Sydney again and check out things like the Thuronga Zoo.
