First day in the new year, since the weather was perfect this would be a good day for the beach. We aimed for Manly beach, at the ferry we found out that there were a few other thousand of people that had the same idea. So there were some que at the ferries, first ferry was full etc... but no worries that is how it is. Manly beach area was very strange, like arriving to tourist centre. Crowded, shops, bars etc... and this only 20min ferry ride from Sydney centre. The beach was of course crowded, too crowded, a lot of people playing ball games, not really that kind of beach that we enjoy. But any way, nice waves, so Oona and me was body surfing, and it was perfect conditions for that one surf could take you around 30m. Great fun. We did not stay that long on the beach since, we tried to get ahead of the mass going mack to Sydney centre.
On the way home we went into a few shops, and checked out some nice offers, and at the ferry we could see that our tactics were right. We managed to get the first ferry, leaving thousands of people to wait for the next ferries. When we arrrived to our friends appartment, they had also come home from their vacation. We talked and shared experiences the whole evening and went to bed late.
