DAY 2...My tour guide got my bones out of bed at 7 am and by 8:30, we were on the train heading toward the harbour again. Manley Harbour was our first destination. We purchased an all inclusive day pass which gave you as many ferries as you could handle and unlimited use of the transit system. Manley Bay was spectacular! Thousands for locals and tourists took to the pristine beaches on a gorgeous, sunny day. Surfing competitions, scuba lessons for anyone interested, surfing and swimming lessons. It was truly amazing to see everyone having such a great time. The beaches were everything we thought they would be and more. Spent about 3 hrs there and then came back to the city where Leslie the tour guide walked my but off once again!! It really was a great day but I think 2 days in the big city was enough for both of us. On to the Gold Coast and some R & R. We have two one week time shares booked for the next 3 weeks and it will be great to be settled in one spot for more than a day.
After months of anticipation, my introduction to Sydney was a bit of a let down. The weather wasn't great and that may have had something to do with it, but day one did not do much for me! Darling Harbour was littered with "tacky tourist boats, most of them sitting idle waiting for the throng of tourists which didn't materialize, at least on that day. Leslie & I have been commenting since we set foot on Australian soil, how clean the country is, I meant spotless! Sydney...NOT SO MUCH! Lots of gang graffiti, much like we witnessed in parts of Europe. We walked the streets of the city and again not overly impressed. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day.

I have always been a straight shooter and a go getter. Many have said Leslie must be a saint to have put up with me for over 40 years. We have been business partners since the day we got married and each played an intrigal roll in our business success. There is nothing more important to us than our Family & Friends. Our love of people and travel has allowed us to develop amazing friendships around the world. Archives
