Down Under

The apartment we rented in Kings Cross through Airbnb (Modern apt in heart of Kings Cross) is very comfortable.  Its close to the train station and is in walking distance to lots of restaurants.

There are 4-1/2 million people that live in Sydney.  We waited until after rush hour to take the train to the harbor.   From there, we took the ferry to Manly Beach.  This is where our friends Jim and Corolla live, when they aren't sailing the world.  We met them on our South America cruise last year.  Unfortunately, they weren't in the country today.

We stopped back by Watson Bay and walked around this quaint little suburb.  Apparently they are fighting a large developer that is wanting to convert several historic buildings into hotels.  They don't want it to turn into a Darling Harbor type area.  I guess we'll have to visit Darling Harbor tomorrow to see what it is they aren't wanting!

We went back to the harbor at sunset and walked around The Rocks.  A number of people were doing the arch walk, but we just didn't feel the need!

However, I get upside down, down under!
