Happy Phil Valentines Day from Sydney, NSW

happy phil valentines day. We had a nice dinner together to celebrate and Frances received a picnic set that wll be getting a lot of use. I gave Michelle a chocolate Cadbury egg that she picked out and i paid for (with her money :). She went to a cricket match for me, i am still owing her!

Today we hiked a trail linking Manly, named after the behavior not an Englishman, to the Spit. Joel and Lucas were leading the way until it became off road and had to head home. We traveled through a lot of bush and had great weather and superb lookout points.

Departing from Manly Cove we walked around North Harbour and made our way into the national park "bush" where we took these looking back at Manly and around to Port Jackson

As we made our way to the other side of the peninsula we could get some new views of Middle Harbour and downtown. Across the way you can view Chinamans Beach, yep Chinamans Beach.

We were nearly to our destination when we reached Sandy Bay and Clondarf.

We also went to an area named Balmoral, it was very peaceful compared to the buzz around Manly and the Spit.

Happy Valentines Day to you two. I'm sorry I couldn't send you the little candy hearts that Michelle loves. Pacha had a run on the beach today for his treat! Mom
