Today is our last full day in Sydney. The Hotel (Sofitel Wentworth) we are staying at is very comfortable and perhaps one of better hotels we have stayed in. As platinum Accor guests food and alcohol flows freely with no extra charges.
We took a fast ferry to Manly today, which was fast and cheap and very very busy. From the brief walk along the beach front area of Manly I can see why it is popular. The beaches were full of sun worshippers soaking up the sun. (However in 20 or 30 years, sun cancer will strike.)
So apparently seagulls are unwelcome, so the beach / city authorities have hired specially trained seagulls patrol dog teams to scare off seagulls!
The cafe culture was very much alive and well with packed tables of foodies enjoying the seaside food. Of course if you want cafe food at came at premium price. We settled for cafe called Felons, which probably was a hint to outrageous prices charged. The food was nice, but probably worth a fraction of the ticket price.
After lunch we continued our exploration of the beaches. Again we can understand the attraction for Sydney folk, as it is pleasant.
After our return trip we explored the Royal Botanical Gardens which were beautiful and well maintained.
Finally we returned to Sofitel to collect our luggage and uber out to Pullman (near Airport) ready for our flight home tomorrow.
