Day 5
Can't get my sleep patterns right yet so was up early with the rest of the family. Saw the kids off to school with Justin and had breakfast while deciding what to do for the day. The weather forecast was bad but it seemed fine enough outside at the moment.

So I decided that I would go into the city to see if the Queen Mary 2 was still at berth in Circular Quay.
It was not of course but in its place the Carnival Spirit had arrived. Another very big ship, well worth a look.
I may have mentioned previously how much I love this place with all its hustle and bustle. the Aborigine music that is always there to accompany you as you stroll around, the constant coming and going of the Harbour ferries, the trains arriving and departing above our heads and the constant flow of people on their way to catch a ferry, or visit the Opera House. Then there are those views of the Harbour Bridge with countless picture opportunities. Or is it to call in at one of the many harbour side restaurants. All this going on below the magnificent city skyline.

| Or by train. |

| Some come to chat |
 |
| Others to relax in the sun |
 |
| They always find time to eat |
 |
| Bridge views they never tire of |
 |
| And the city is right behind |
Talking of places to eat, I could not come down here without calling in to Buckleys could I? This time it was for a couple of schooners of Chancer ale and some Lobster sliders with Flying Fish eggs. One word - delicious.

| Always welcoming |

Feeling well fed I decided to return to the house by my favourite method, the Manly ferry. This time it was the Collaroy.

When I arrived at the Manly ferry terminal I quickly caught a bus to French's Forest but unfortunately after that lunch I fell asleep and missed my stop. I had to go on to Chatswood and catch another bus back.
