Boxing Day in Manly was all about hitting the beach and then repeating in the sales. Amelia bought a couple of bikinis and jean shorts to embrace the Manly street look.

After lazing in the sunshine for a few hours, another storm arrived so we retired for coffee and a cake back at Caroline’s before the sun broke through and we decided to take a trip up to our favourite North Shore pub, The Newport Arms.

Late afternoon at the Newport Arms is a wonderful place to grab a beer & a bite to eat and then watch the boats go past on the river below.

Got to be one of the best pub views going!

After dinner and a few drinks we went over to play some table tennis and check out the tunes being played in the rest of the pub.

We had a fun evening, which was finished off by being chauffeur driven home by Eva who is getting her driving hours in before she puts in for her test.
