night time volleyball

I was able to find a place near Shelly beach.  It's so nice because now it takes less than 10 minutes to walk to the beach from my place now.  My housemate had a couchsurfer stay at the place.  At night we went to the beach to play some volleyball and met a group that was near the volleyball courts.  I was able to get a lot of photos because of them.   I definitely would like to play some more volleyball at the beach.  It was a nice and relaxing night.

walk from manly to curl curl

One of my favorite walks in Manly is from Manly to North Curl Curl.  Since I did those walks so much I remembered all the little secrets on the walk.  In particular there is one place that is an amazing place to take pics from.  It looks like you are sitting on a very thin rock just above the water.  If you walk onto the rock from one side it doesn't look to bad, but for the photographer it looks pretty scary.  Because I did the walk by myself, I needed some help to get the photos done for me.  I saw some ladies close to the spot and asked them for help.  They were kind enough to help out. Thanks ladies!!

courageous enough to get on the rock too

living life on the edge.....

chilled out friday

I have been lucky enough that some of the friends I had last time I lived in Manly are still here.  I was able to meet my friend's new friends and of course become friends with them now.  We had a wonderful salmon dinner courtesy of a kind friend who cooked for all of us.  It was a very nice and relaxing friday.

back in australia

My first day back to Australia I had to get a phone and get a bit situated.  The next day, I immediately went to the beach so that I could snorkel.  It was wonderful to be back in the water and see all the beautiful sea life.  It was strange though.  From all the times I went snorkeling last time I was in Australia, I probably saw only 3 or 4 sting rays for the entire year.  My first day out this time around, I saw 4 sting rays.  After  I saw the forth, I decided it was time to get out of the water.  It just didn't feel right.  Unfortunately, I didn't get to see the port jackson shark that I normally saw 2.5 years ago.  Hopefully I'll be able to see it soon!
