Today we expect the ideal day out: the sun, clouds, 25 ° C and wind. So we could transpose our plans into action and get our last day with the public transport ticket to the "Bondi Beach" to come. But
we went to the "Town Hall station, drove from there take a train to Bondi Junction and would then continue by bus to Bondi Beach. As usual, we used the escalator and when we arrived, we could not believe our eyes: from the escalator to the exit door to the bus stop there was a huge queue.
stayed What can we do otherwise, we introduced ourselves to stop back and were curious to see how long it would take until we would get a suitable bus. Once only did a bus in front of an earlier date that were not wheelchair accessible.
short time later, however, held an articulated and nearly all were waiting aboard. We had to wait further because there were still about 20 people ahead of us. The next bus arrived soon after, and quite naturally the ramp was lowered and all other passengers had to wait until Beatrice had taken their special wheelchair space.
some point it really took off toward the beach. We knew not what we were doing, but we got out there, where all left the bus and were actually on the legendary "Bondi Beach". As at many Australian beaches before, so we expected here too white powder sand, turquoise sea and many high waves.
We watched the funny goings on the beach for a while and then took a walk to the end of the bay. Heading was again shot many photos, and soon we were on our way back to the City.
We asked ourselves again at the bus stop and waited as this which would drive up on buses. We were lucky and after a few minutes, a bus stopped with the word "Circular Quay". That was exactly the place where we wanted to go.
If we had used the train again, we would change trains twice. Nevertheless, the trip took obviously take longer and the first three quarters of an hour later we landed in Sydney Harbour.
We bought a few drinks and then walked to the Wharf 3, because we wanted to take ferry to Manly. Since we had another very lucky, because two minutes later, the gates had been closed.
So we could still run into the huge ferry and half an hour later we had "Manly" is achieved. There, crowds flocked to the board of evil already dawned on us and when we came through the large terminal, in which everything was represented, from McDonalds Aldi.
through the busy pedestrian zone, we tailgated us to "Manly Beach". Such a good beach, we had yet seen in Australia before. It was seen that here for a holiday period and the other highlight of the year approaches, namely the New Year's fireworks.
More and more people flock to Sydney and in the surrounding area. So slowly we can take a picture of what we are expected tomorrow in the city.
We rested on the beach promenade and the atmosphere could affect us.
Then it was time to leave, because first we had a ferry and later by bus to the hotel . Go
So far we had not realized how big the ferry was in existence, but when it came to boarding, 1,100 people flocked to the pier and it was downright pushing. On the ship we were able to get standing room only (Beate had no problem getting a seat, she had her chair so there.).
At the entrance to the Sydney Harbour, it was again this time absolutely spectacular in the evening sun, the "Harbour Bridge" and the "Opera House" to see.
arrived in the harbor, we were on our way to the bus stops. We are now old hands and have no problem with one of the 20 buses that go behind each other to select.
Unfortunately we have so far not yet understood, which routes the buses take, but we knew to always help by simply asking the bus driver. A few minutes later we met at the Queen Victoria Building "which found the way out in the lower levels of" Myer "and decided this time to Italian cuisine.
brought the lasagna and tortellini, we ate in the room before we ourselves comfortable in the Executive Lounge on white wine and champagne making.
