Bikes and boats to Manly











Saturday means it's time for fun and Charlie (above right) has invited me on a bike tour via ferry to Manly beach with Bonza Bike Tours and they sure are Bonza tours. We saw all of Sydney harbour as we left - on arrival Lash the tour guide (above left) showed us the nicest parts of the beach (Shelly beach though the tourists have taken all the shells so it's a misnomer!) I haven't included a pic as it will make all the Brits back home incredibly jealous and I know some of you are a slight shade of green already.

We headed up a big hill to the highest point called North Head (I had to get off and push not having the lovely luxury of Stuart pulling me on the tandem!) After an exhilarating ride down we later went out to a fantastic restaurant below the Harbour Bridge and overlooking a huge cruiseliner called Celebrity X and the Opera House - someone was celebrating as we were treated to an enormous firework display - the perfect setting for the meal!
