Bavarian bears wear interesting shorts! |
Tide was out so we were able to rock and sand hop along the beach and not follow the dog route. |
North and South head and strangely, the Manly Catamaran is running |
Once at Manly we 'needed' a 'pre-walk' coffee and cake, but the Bavarian Bear restaurant on the wharf (see first photo) also had no electricity. What was weird was how come the Catamaran was running?
We did eat at a dodgy cafe near the aquarium, won't be recommending that place to anyone, but it did have electricity.
And finally we were on our way.
The walk was great, up and down, pretty well signposted, and stunning views at almost every turn.
I love this photo looking towards the 'neck' of Manly with the ocean behind |
Almost half way on our 7km walk. |
What else, a kookaburra. I just love these birds. |

Crossing the Spit Bridge, we were assured by the bridge controllers that it was safe to cross even though the 'red man' was flashing. They were right, the bridge didn't open while we were crossing, but did very soon after. I think its just a game they play, to see if they can catch pedestrians who dilly dally while crossing!
Finished our walk with a huge fish and chips meal (we think well deserved!) and an added interest in kayaking around the harbour.
The walk was great, and of course we managed to talk non-stop the whole way!
