I was in Sydney mid of this year. Such a lovely city. I am yearning to go there again. I was going through my Sydney album and found these pictures. These were taken when I went out for ferry ride. They say, ferries are the best when it comes to authentic Sydney experience.I bought a combo ticket for Torong Zoo and 24 hour hop on hop off ferry for $40.
I started from circular quay.My first stop was Torong zoo. The cable car ride inside the Torong Zoo offered a good view of Sydney. By the time I took a tour of the Zoo and came out it was already 1pm. Though, ferry ticket can be used for 8 destinations. Practically it is not possible to go there unless we plan it well. Ferry schedule was something I couldn’t understand it easily. Nevertheless, I never count how many sight seeing places I visited. I love to explore and leisurely experience the place.
I didn’t have any plan for my next stop. While I was choosing my next destination, a ferry arrived. Next minute, yours truly was there inside the ferry. After 15-20 minutes, ferry stopped as captain’s announced the stop ‘Watson’s bay’.
Hungry to the core,I was so happy to see many restaurants adjacent to the harbor. But didn’t find anything vegetarian there. They were sea food restaurants.Later, came to know that Watson’s bay is famous for seafood and it was once fishermen’s village .
I walked towards left side of the bay in search of food. After a km, found nothing to eat but a beautiful beach. Now, I had time till ferry comes back. So, started walking in the opposite direction. Found some steps and information board mentioning that place as GAP. GAP is an ocean cliff facing Tasman sea.
I was so happy to find this place accidentally. It is an amazing vantage point which offers Sydney’s bird’s view.Walking along the cliff was so relaxing. I decided not to hop on the next scheduled ferry. So continued enjoying the views. Lovely veg roll,cone of ice cream, GAP park bubbling with locals having leisurely time made my afternoon a memorable one.
My hop on hop off ferry ended with only 2 stops. Absolutely no regret as Watson’s bay filled up all the gaps.Few more pictures on my way back to circular quay..
