Whilst I was in Sydney I took the opportunity to catch up with an old friend from the UK who emigrated out a couple of years ago and who now lives in Manly.
Manly is a coastal suburb on the peninusla on the north side of the entrance to Sydney harbour. It's a 30 minute ferry ride away from Sydney, and it's a stunning ferry journey that takes you past some iconic places and stunning views
This is 11am on a Saturday in early summer with 3-4' waves - look how many people aren't out there, compared to the masses fighting over 2' of slop in the freezing waters in the UK.......

This is the southern headland of the harbour, made famous as the start point of the Sydney - Hobart race
Manly itself is a gorgeous seaside town with a mellow harbour on one side and a fairly serious surf beach on the other. It's odd to be so close to downtown Sydney and yet be feeling like you're in a seaside town
My friend Andy managed to liberate himself from his daughter's daycare Christmas party and we checked out a few of bars. You couldn't quite see the beach from this place, but when waves jacked up you could see surfers dropping in as you sup your pint.
It was fantastic to catch up again mate - cheers.
