A true beach holiday in Sydney

So I will, only this time we're going to have a bit more of a relaxing time than racing around the tourists sites with a camera and a backpack. No, this time we're going to sit our spotty bottoms down and take a huge (metaphorical) chill pill.

We're going to Manly Beach first of all, which is less famous, but much better than Bondi Beach. Best of all you get to take a little boat trip from Circular Quay, which is very pleasant in the Australian summer, and then you sit down on a beach and just do nothing for a while. Now that's not too hard is it? Save all that charging about for another time.

If you feel that you must do something other than lie down – and personally I have no idea why – here are a list of things that you can do in Manly: kayaking, tennis, golf, swim, parasailing, scuba diving and fishing, as well as all the usual things like shop and eat. Is that enough for you?
