On my last day in Sydney, I took a ferry to Manly Beach. I walked to Circular Quay and then took a half hour long ferry to Manly. It was a beautiful ride and I got great views of the city.

Once at Manly, I walked down the couple blocks of cute shops and restaurants to the beach. There, I spent some time just enjoying watching the waves and and then walked around the beach area some more. It was really pretty and if I hadn’t had to leave for my flight that afternoon, I would have loved to actually lay on the beach and get in the water.

I took the ferry back to Circular Quay and then walked back to my hotel to get my luggage before heading to the airport for my flight back to Christchurch. This was my third time in the Sydney airport in about a week!

Overall, I had such an amazing time in Australia and I will remember this trip forever. I got to see and experience so many cool and unique things and I am so grateful I was able to take this trip over my break.
