Some of my best travel expeditions are at times when I had no place to travel...!



I had 3 days with no plans...I grabbed a book and few dollars..and started my journey towards no-where..Trust me..its a beautiful place :)



I travelled in city rail from South to North Shore..took all ferry maps from circular quay and started exploring Sydney the Harbor Way!










The city gave me entire Ocean to explore….!

Without thinking or wasting a single second I sat in one of the ferries which was about to start. The Cruise was for Manly Island.. :)

Looking at the vast ocean from a side window while sitting in that Cruise with my book and a cappa coffee to accompany me, my journey began with a peaceful, beautiful sound of waves...







I skipped a beat at the first sight of Manly beach, it left me speechless...a greenish tint in water mesmerized me..

I still feel the same when I look at this first sight Pic...







I was shivering with cold as it started to drizzle but my spirits were too high for any cold...walking in rain has always been my favorite..

Manly is a very small island with a 3 km long beach...I walked almost the entire island and came back to where I started in not more than 3 hrs while picking some goodies :)





The most beautiful ferry ride was of Parramatta, a very serene river. It was awesome to get to know how the other side lives…on river side!

It was the longest ferry ride of all, and extremely alluring & peaceful..







Covered Manly Island, Watsons Bay, Mosman Bay, Neutral Bay, Milsons Point, Cockatoo Island, Sydney Olympic Park, Parramatta River in those 3 days..Covered almost entire Sydney on water...

I really did enjoy in Sydney city..its fantastic, rocking and maddening but the experience of wandering aimlessly in the Pacific was Divine!

Yes, they say that right: Not all those who wander are lost! :)






The journey that started beside a window with a book, ended with dancing on a deck with strangers as I headed back to my favorite Circular Quay.

I love to travel alone…love to wander and be lost..coz the journey back always brings with it a brand new experience, new faces, new friends, new souls, new places..and new Me!

I still keep re-discovering myself ;)
