Angela and I boarded a ferry, which took us to the beautiful Northern Beach of Manly, where we visited twice actually: once to just enjoy the beauty and a nice leisurely lunch together, shortly after my arrival in Australia; secondly to go for a fantastic 10k walk with a couple of friends.
On the way across I spotted a submarine rising out of the water. Turns out it was a Navel Sub, which only comes into the area a few times a year - or so I heard?
The cliffs, here and there, were very beautiful.
The colour of the sky and water were more vibrant and breathtaking than they appear in the photos; in fact, the photos are not very good, and definitely do not do justice!
When we arrived at the dock, I noticed that quite a number of the seagulls had flown over to greet us...
Quite a large number perhaps?!
Ah seagulls, they are everywhere.
The beach was absolutely beautiful, and not too busy on this, (not a weekend) day. 😎
The lifeguards were busily
Guarding lives against these bad-boys! ↘
The Blue Bottle,
Pacific Man o'War,
are often washed up, unfortunately, in the summertime.
These little buggers belong to the anemone family, and can inflict a nasty sting with their super long tail, (which you can not see in the photo, sorry); the toxins injected from the sting are not typically harmful to humans, but hurt like crazy - 👀
so run away!
While walking along the beachfront, we came across a group of Chinese ladies doing some ceremonial dance of sorts.
Was kinda fun, a little out of place, but whatever, they were enjoying themselves. 😊
♡ Beautiful beach, beautiful day, beautiful visit! ♡
