Manly Beach

On Thursday Jason, Amy and I headed up to Sydney for the night. We left i the morning and took the train to Bondi Junction where we met up with Chelsea (who also goes to UND). We lucked out an were able to by a "transportation" ticket, that covered all trains, buses, and ferry's for the entire day for only $20!

We met up with Chelsea around noon, and took a bus to the harbor, where we jumped on a ferry to Manly beach. The ferry was about 30mins, and we got awesome views of the opera house, harbor bridge and the city of Sydney. The weather was gorgeous!! We got some food at one of the restaurants along the strip (i got the chicken schnitzel), and then took a walk up and down the sand of Manly beach. The water was pretty cold so we didn't go for a swim. After our walk we got some gelato and hopped back on the ferry to Sydney.

The three of us decided to explore the Opera house. We had been by it before, but it had been raining so we were unable to get up close and really check it out. It was awesome just to hang out at the Opera house admiring its beauty. We then headed to Pancakes on the Rocks for dinner, which was delicious. I got the Hot Tropo which was two pancakes with chocolate sauce and ice cream on top..yumm!! I was able to meet up with Diana for dinner, it was awesome to see her again!

After dinner, we headed back to Bondi to shower up to go out. Once ready we headed back to the city to go to the Argyle Club. It was so neat. The DJ was in a floating glass box, and they had a large beer garden with really cool lamps. I got a delicious drink called Strawberry Bubbles! After hanging out at the Argyle, we headed back to Pancakes on the Rocks for a late night snack. Yet again, a really good choice!

On Friday there was supposed to be a Study Australia BBQ (the original reason why we went up to Sydney), but it ended up raining the entire day so it was canceled. We got some lunch at the mall (super fancy and huge mall...over 5 stories) and then headed back to the gong.

Marshall showed up in the gong late that night and we just hung out and got Kebabs.
