It was hard to leave behind the beauty of Port Douglas, but while we were on our train to Sydney, we just couldn't wait to get off and explore! But the train ride was almost 4 days! Hope we don't regret it. We arrived at The Sebel Manly Beach (our hotel) around lunch, so we ate and then went to the pool. The pool was pretty nice, the rooms were big, the beds were comfortable, but there was that special something that was missing to make it feel like home. Well, we had a beach right under us, you could just literally just jump off our balcony onto the sand, but don`t... it`s kinda far down.
The rooms did not have WiFi, which sounds terrible, but actually turned out great!We were not spending our time texting our friends or whatever, we were enjoying ourselves. And if we needed WiFi to search for restaurants and stuff, there was some in the lobby.
The most amazing thing we did there was shark diving. It does sound scary, but it's very safe. It was in the northern area of Sydney, but I don't remember exactly where... Anyways, we had a 2 1/2 hour stay, which had included the safety instructions, a tour, and half an hour of diving! Isabelle and I went, but my mom didn't want to go, mainly because she doesn't know how to swim. The most extraordinary part of it all was the diving. There were huge sting rays, beautiful sea turtles, and Gray nurse sharks. There were other fish and stuff but that was the best!
My favorite restaurant we went good to in Sydney was The Fish House. We shared baby calamari as an entree, and I had fish and chips! It seems that the sea food in Australia is AWESOME so far.
As we did in Port Douglas, we rented a small car to travel around in.
