Manly Hotels - Reviews and Rates

The last few blogs haven't involved many travel adventures, so hopefully the next few will more than make up for this. As they say, all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. We have now been stuck in the same place and the same job for far too long. Five months in fact. We're supposed to be 'Superdude & Supergirl - Globe Trotters Extraordi...

After a very merry Christmas and a tiddly New Year (hiccup!), we expected January to be a quiet and peaceful time just like home. In the UK, when the festive season ends, most people step down a gear, suffer with winter blues or SAD Syndrome and succumb to the normal routine of everyday life. Thats all well and good in the UK when it's Winter. Y...

Christmas Eve... Cheryl worked last night so we all left the house for her to sleep. David arranged to play golf with his mate Dave and we decided to do the Spit Bridge to Manly Walk. We were up early and left the house about 7:30. David dropped us off by Spit Bridge on his way to golf armed with lashings of suntan lotion, hats and water. It was...

Hello everyone! Sorry we haven't been in touch but unfortunately we don't have any exciting news or travel stories to report. This blog is purely to let you know what us crazy kids have been up to the last few weeks. We are still based in Manly, Sydney trying to save as much money as possible (which is not going well!) for our next trip where ev...

Well Monday morning came and we still hadn't heard from Manly Seaside Holiday Apartments about the job we were almost 100% sure to have got. Oops! Maybe we were a bit premature with our celebrations. Not to worry, we just had to get back out there and try harder. After breakfast, we strolled down to the bus stop to catch a bus (believe it or not...

Manly is a nice town, 10km away from Sydney. After another long day driving, we chose this spot to sleep. For once, we park in the street as there is no camping around. Nevermind, we'll shower somehow. I'm happy to leave the driving behind. It was exhausting with this van and roadworks every 5km. Can't complain about the weather though, absolute...

Wednesday, went for another run, drank my tea and planned my day. I was headed for Manly which you reach by ferry and there's a great beach there. I also wanted to do a little kayaking around the harbour, which you can do from Manly. Took the CityRail to the Ferry at Circular Quay. I met this LOVELY older retired couple, Peter and Jan, from Darw...

During my first week at TWS I was given the responsibility of planning and managing a stall at the Manly Ocean Care Day, a duty I was so ecstatic about! This Sunday was the stall and it went really well. It was a great location, right on the boardwalk on Manly's beach, and we were placed right next to the crocodile statue which brought in a lot ...

Tan monitor:Slight improvement

Well today I visited a friend of my Grandmother who lives in a suburb of Sydney amusingly called Manly, which makes for some chortle-inducing signs (supra). Before I went I had the great pleasure of a 90 minute 'chat' with an American missionary staying in my dorm, who spends six months of the year travelli...
