Yep it’s Friday the 13th but it’s been a lovely day... No bad luck so far. We drove to Freshwater Beach, lay in the sun and swam in the sea. Heaven on a Friday. Freshwater was the first beach for anyone to ever surf at in Australia. It’s a long time since I last went surfing, but wading around in the saltwater reminded me how great it feels to be in the sea. Saltwater is so refreshing and exhilarating. Still, I get a little nervous in the water and wish fear didn’t have such a hold on me sometimes.
Later we drove to Manly for lunch, my favourite part of Sydney. I’d choose to live here if it wasn’t so difficult to get to. If you live or work on the city you have to get a ferry, otherwise it’s a fairly long drive. I just love it though. There are surfers and longboarders everywhere you look, nice shops and cafes, ice cream parlours and that Australian laid back beach lifestyle which is ever so appealing. If you are visiting Sydney, I’d definitely recommend catching the ferry to Manly for a day trip. If you head home in the late afternoon, you can watch the sunset over the Harbour Bridge and Opera House as the ferry gently takes you over the water, the fresh sea air breezing by.
