(Manly, 2007)

Our accommodation was at the Medina Apartments in Darling Harbour which was a fantastic location just behind the aquarium. and a most enjoyable time was had. A new camera made it's way into the bag, a Canon IXUS 850 IS. A very fine device, user friendly, great resolution and an excellent feel in the hand. Some three hundred plus photos were taken to assist the memories.

Transportation was by water (all manner of ferries) and by foot. Both very good ways to engage with most of what is available in the inner city / harbour environs. Highlights were the food & drink prices in Darling Harbour (V. high), the ambience and relaxing feel in Manly, the views from the old Sydney Observatory, and of course the ever-changing views and activities on and around Sydney Harbour. When the sun is shining, and at night, often too pretty for words.

Not surprisingly we ate and drink continuously, although not always at the highest standard but usually the views offset the quality concerns. Jordons at Darling Harbour and Kingsleys Steak and Crabhouse on Woolloomoloo Wharf were my highlights. An honourable mention to the Cargo Bar Lounge for comfy couches, a good by-the-glass wine list and tasty bar snacks. All provided of course with a water view.
