They're here! Ferry to Manly and visit to McMahon's Point

After 9 months and a REALLY long flight (with a "nice" 5 hour overnight layover in LAX) my parents arrived in Sydney on Saturday, 16 August. After some R & R we were ready to get out and about on Sunday. We took the rail down to Circular Quay and then the ferry up to Manly so they could see the harbour and the beautiful views along the way...

It was a long, fun and chilly day in Manly! On Monday we ventured out to McMahon's Point, which you've all seen views of in previous posts. Dad was exhausted from the walk down, around, and back up the hills, but we had fun taking them to see North Sydney for the first time. The kids enjoyed the little playground...

A great shot my Dad got of the bridge and North Sydney CBD from McMahon's Point



That's all for days 1 and 2... stay tuned for the next 10 days in pictures!!
