Sunday 21 October 2007. Day 62. Campervan - Sheralee Holiday Park, Rockdale (Sydney).

Did some laundry, chat to the neighbours about the rugby result, empty the poo capsule and top up with water.

Really hot today. We catch the train into Sydney and out via the North Shore to Chattswood, as Ieuan wanted to go to the Camper shop there to buy some flip flops. From Chattswood, we jump in a taxi for what we thought would be a short jaunt to Manly beach, arriving half an hour and $40 later!

We look for a place for lunch and eat at “Burger Me” where we have the biggest burgers we have ever seen, overlooking the beach. Ieuan manages to mis-identify the burgers which means that Lou end up eating Ieuan’s burger which has hot tomatao salsa and jalapeno peppers on!

We go and sit in the sun on Manly beach, watching the world go by, until we end up in the shade of the big trees behind us, and we are sick of having towels (and therefore sand!) shaken inconsiderately in our direction (and the culprits were mainly brits)!

We wander through Manly to the wharf, pausing only for Ieuan to purchase more flip flops, and then catch the ferry back to Sydney Harbour. We watch loads of yachts and some jet boats go past, and see lots of beautiful coves and inlets around the main bay and harbour.

On dry land, our new favourite wine bar was shut and the centre of town seemed to be pretty much closed down for the day, so we walked down to the station and got the train home. At home we cook pasta and pesto / jacket potatoes for tea.
