Sydney Day 3

We got an extra hour of sleep this morning and had breakfast at 8AM. Again we had cereal, toast and peanut butter! Then it was time to pack up my things and board the bus to Manly beach. This time we took a ferry to get to the beach. Because we had a few spare minutes before the next ferry, I ran over to the Rocks which had tons of markets with crafty, jewelry, and food tents to see. I got Marinnas necklace at a market here. The ferry was almost 40 minutes, and once we got there, I walked around the town. There were lots of little shops which occupied most of my time. We only had about an hour here and I didn't even make it to the beach and had to go back to the bus. Then it was off to Darling Harbor---this is where the Sydney Aquarium is and the Maritime Naval Museum is. Just off the harbour is a town which I walked around with a few students, ate my Pb&J. We ended up walking back to the Rocks Market which was about 35 minutes away and then around the town on the way back. For dinner, Star Bar was recommended---it was a nice Cheeky Monkey restaurant. It was a play on Hollywood with costumes and mannequins of actors/actresses. The food was really good though----I had a seasoned piece of chicken which was delicious over some sweet potatoes and onions. Great way to end the Sydney experience--then it was back to the bus for Lennox. I got my own seat this time so it was way more comfortable. I did some homework and then went to sleep--I actually got sleep this time. We stopped once at a gas station around 1AM and found some ridiculous food products---an ice cream bar called Golden Gaytime and a bag of lamb and mint flavored chips. These just made me laugh...a lot!!! Then it was back to the bus, we arrived in Lennox around 5:10AM!
