Royal Botanical Gardens and Manly

Although it was raining most of the weekend the weather was pretty nice on Friday and Saturday.


On Friday I met a friend to enjoy the weather in the Royal Botanical Gardens. We watched the cockatoos and some even came close and sat on people's arms. They were expecting seeds and pecked you if you didn't give them anything.

In the evening we went to Newtown to have some dinner. There are a lot of different (and cheap) restaurants there and I can also recommend the area for grabbing a beer in one of the local pubs.


As the weather was nice on Saturday, we took the ferry from wharf 3 to Manly. From the wharf in Manly it is a 20 minutes walk to Shelly Beach. We walked up a hill to watch the sunset and soak up the atmosphere.

The Northern beaches are a good spot to surf and you can watch a lot of surfers enjoying the waves.

The rest of the weekend was quiet due to the wet weather. I hope it will improve soon.
Next week we will have another intern meeting at the Dolphin Hotel and I hope to meet many new faces.


Have a good week! 
Cheers!
