…ayed in: https://youtu.be/VTHSzX3Suq4 Day 52 (2 March) Sydney Sydney Opera House Australia Although Bondi Beach is usually the one in Sydney most visitors have heard of and visit, I loved Manly Beach last time and so we visited it again today. It is a 25-minute ferry (or a shorter FastCat ride) from Circular Quay and I recommend this as it provides great views of the Harbour Bridge, Opera House and Harbour.

…a lot of it still wild, with a long winding driveway up to the house. The house itself was originally a country home and was for a while part of the Southampton University where it was houses of residence. Then it was bought out and turned into a hotel. While the hotel decor is a bit dated, and feels like it was influenced by one’s grandmother and not all high quality, it is clean and efficient. Though the beds are not that great and could do wit…
