Sydney part 2

I have been loving staying with Katie in Manly. She is so lucky to be staying in such a chilled out place. The cafés and bars are beautiful and the food and coffee is so good. It is such an amazing lifestyle and such a polar opposite way of life to busy Sydney. After applying for my Vietnam visa in a shopping centre in a suburb of Sydney, very strange, we met up and went to Bondi. As it is the most famous beach in Sydney it was of course super busy and touristy. They even have free wifi on the beach! 

We did the long but picturesque walk along the coastal path to Coogee. It was beautiful!

The next day it was forecast to rain and did it! Me and Shama took a trip to the art gallery as something to do inside! I met a girl who was on the Great Ocean Road tour on our gallery tour. So bizarre! Took some beautiful photos of the harbour from the ferry in the wet weather. 

Thursday Katie took the day off work and we took a road trip to the Blue Mountains. They are called blue due to the haze of eucalyptus oil coming from the trees. We first went to the Wentworth Falls and they were so beautiful! We did a little walk through the forest to the falls and the views were spectacular. 

At the falls I found a proposal to me carved into the rock. Result! Finally!

Next on our whistle stop tour was the Three Sisters. Apparently one of the most famous sights in the mountains. It was so touristy and definitely not as nice as the falls but very pretty none the less. 

We had a lovely lunch in Katoomba and the town was so cute. Had some great shops and cafés. 

My last day I had to collect my passport from the shopping centre again and as it was a lovely I took a walk through the botanic gardens and I finally managed to take some photos of the beige and opera house in the sun!
