Manly

Yesterday I went to Manly Beach with Nina and Berit.  They are both from Norway and go to school at Fontys in Holland.  Nina is working at the same clinic as I am, and Berit is working at another PT clinic in Sydney.
Manly is a beach on the north shore of Sydney.  It spans about 1.25 miles.  It's really popular.  A lot of people call it the Bondi Beach of the north shore (Bondi is on the south side of the harbor and is the most well-known of the Sydney beaches).
When we were there it was really windy and the rips were quite strong.  They ended up closing the beach for swimming and surfing because the rips were really dangerous.  I was telling Elke and Nick (the family I'm staying with) about it.  They said it's rare for that to happen, and if it does it's usually during the winter.  The wind was whipping sand around, but we decided to stay for a few hours because it's so beautiful there, and otherwise it's a great beach.
