A beautiful Tuesday ..

This Morning our CEO rang (he's supposed to be on holidays) and goes .."Ummm Ash, I need to get to a meeting, can you look after Harry .. (his 10 year old son) for the morning?" .... My response ..."ummm sure"! I mean really --- what else am I supposed to say?!

Now -- a run down on this family, they are fairly wealthy - So needless to say this kid has done everything under the sun!! He's holidaying in Sydney visiting his Dad and he's been here since Friday .. so far they have

1. Climbed the Sydney Harbour Bridge
2. Visited the Wildlife Centre
3. Slept the night at the Zoo -- (Roar & Snore)
4. Went on a Whale Watching Cruise
5. Went on an action jet boat ride around the Sydney
6. Gone to Darling Harbour

Sooooo.... what to do, what to do?! Needless to say they hadn't gone on the ferry to Manley -- cheap and fun! It was a beautiful sunny day in Sydney so we decided to head out! 1/2 hour ride to Manley, love the ferries! Beautiful sunny day in Sydney, cruising through the harbour, past the harbour bridge, Opera House, Russell Crowe's house, Military Boats, beaches and much more ... stunning!

Made it to Manley -

- Harry: Ice Cream & a Boost Juice
- Ash: Latte

Wonder around the beach, checking out random surf shops -- the kid likes to shop ..amazing! No purchases, but good fun & lots of chatting!

1/2 hour back to the city on the ferry -- looks like I'm still a successful babysitter! =)
