One day we took the commuter ferry into town instead of the train. The ferry was a great way to travel because it helped you to see how big the harbor is and gave you a different view of the city.
This is what the harbor looked like all the way to the city. Houses everywhere!

We switched to a larger ferry to head out to Manly Beach, a 45 min. ride to a beautiful beach.
We saw many sailboats along the way. The waves actually were really rocking the ferry as we traveled past the inlet to the ocean so that was a little crazy. Thankfully it was 5 minutes of serious rocking and then it stopped.
Manly Beach. It was a beautiful beach where you could take surfing lessons if you wanted to brave the waves.
Another view of the beach.
We took a walk down the beach and took in the beautiful views.

To commemorate our last night in Australia, we decided to go to a show at the Opera House. Le Grand Cirque was an amazing show with very talented people. The various acts were literally unbelievable.
