The Sydney Opera House and the Manly Ferry


The Sydney Opera House

The Sydney Opera House is probably the most photographed piece of architecture in the world. It truly is magnificent and extremely photogenic. (Click on this photo and see some other photos from the day.)

Last Saturday, Tim and I took the ferry to Manly, NSW. We had tried to take the Manly Ferry last October when we were visiting, but it was canceled due to rough seas (although the trip is all within the harbour). The ride over was lovely - a bit brisk, but blue skies and enough wind to encourage lots of sailors to take their boats out.

When we arrived at Manly, we were pleasantly surprised to find the annual Food and Wine Tasting Festival happening (I guess you could call this "People Heaven."). We chose some delicious cheese and fruit plates and a couple of nice red wines. Later we did some requisite shopping and headed back - although this ferry was inside seating only, too hot and packed.

We had a fun day, perfect weather, good food and wine - we were tired, but content... and pleased with our good luck and fine timing.
