Day 5 – Cruising the Sydney Harbour

Another beautiful day. Not quite as hot as yesterday but still sunny & warm. Our day started out with the purchase of a “monopod selfie stick”. We wanted to look like all the other tourists in Sydney. The staff at the cell phone store got us all set up. We had a good laugh as we took our first “selfie” with our new found friends!!

Later in the morning, We took a ferry…one you can “Hop on & Hop off” for the entire day. The ferry stopped at 6 different places & also had a commentary which informed us of lots of history surrounding Sydney. We got off at Manly Bay & spent about an hour just walking around & enjoying the sunshine. I put my feet into the ocean but it wasn’t warm enough to swim. We got back on the ferry & “hopped off” at the Taronga Zoo. It was a spectacular facility & was neat to see different animals than we saw yesterday.  

Our first “selfie”.


Solo “selfie” with the new boat. My hair did look good when we left the hotel this morning. The wind really did a number on it eh?

    You’re having such a great time! It appears you have mastered the selfie.

    I notice you made no comment about Bruce’s hair. Surely you got a photo of Bruce striking a ‘he-man’ pose at Manly Beach?

    I’m looking forward to hearing your stories,
    Kathie

      Hi Kathie. Thanks for the email. Bruce has no hair to discuss but he does boast a new chapeau!! Yes we are having such fun with the “selfie” stick. Wait until you see the photos from our trip to Bondi Beach. I will be posting soon. Take care….see you in June.
