Yesterday, my love affair with the beach rekindled when the fam and I visited Manly. We were showcasing the Great Sydney Experience to my cousins who have travelled to Land Down Under all the way from Florida. While exhibiting some of the most breathtaking sights of Manly, I was reminded of how much I was looking forward to this summer.
We started off by eating some truly woeful seafood (it was disgusting...but that's beside the point). But I did get some cool mango smoothie down my throat!
Then we set off to take some snapshots together by the beach. There was fun...laughter...family drama, but above all, there was a mixture of love and warmth from the setting of that happy place. Now before you reprimand my vomit-inducing cheesiness, you've got to be there to feel it.
It was warm, but far too windy to swim, so we headed off to grab some good old Ben & Jerry's ice-cream. And let me tell you, it was worth the despicable price tag. There's nothing better than slurping sugary American Ice-cream in Australia! And before you ask, I got Chunky Monkey, of course.
There are some amazing markets in Manly, so we ventured through the long line of stalls, searching for treasure amongst trash.
We then set off back home, exhausted after an entire day under the much missed sun.
Now I know I don't normally post recounts of my day, but yesterday was too special not to share with my faithful readers. Until next time !
Ella xoxo
