Walk no. 10: Curl Curl to Manly - hooray - a milestone!

Walk no. 10. 

Today, with my constant companion Ryan, we walked from Curl Curl to Manly, (not quite to to North Head - can only 'encourage' Ryan for so long before we reach the 'are we there yet' part of the walk), and so have finished the last of the coastal section of the walk for a while. Now we'll turn inland and walk along harbour paths until we reach South Head, many, many kilometres away......

I took a photo of Ryan at the start of the walk
so I would know what street to return to to
find the car............

Surfers at Curl Curl Beach

Same surfers, further along the wave - what a gorgeous day!

Ryan on the boardwalk

 As we walked further south, we found a lovely board walk that hugged the cliff - and meant that I could see Ryan in the distance (unlike the last walk where I lost him in the bush).
As we rounded the point towards Freshwater, there were lots of rock fishermen/women trying to catch dinner. I didn't clamber down to check their catches, but was envious.

Romance by the sea

Freshwater

Sewage outlets at Freshwater (?) - now what is wrong with that sentence??

 Just for fun I took this series of photos while we walked along Freshwater - hope you like them.....and no, I'm not stalking him, just trying to keep up!

This is such a Ryan look....

Do the right thing in Manly

Is this the way to the gelato shop??

Things special about this walk: once again, Curl Curl has it's own sea pool - I think that every single beach I've passed through on this Blog Walk has had it's own sea pool - how lucky; Freshwater is as lovely a beach as I remember it when I used to take the boys when they were little; Manly is a stunning beach and whenever I see Norfolk Island Pines I think of Manly; managed to get off at the correct bus stop; love the beachy feel of Manly.

We walked to the Ferry Terminal, caught our bus back to the car, and next time, I'll be starting at the Ferry Terminal and enjoying harbour views for quite a few kilometres.
