Meandering​ to Manly

Sydney is beautiful! I absolutely love it here. We’ve also been blessed with perfect weather despite the fact that it is technically winter. The Airbnb we are staying in now leaves you a bit wanting but the location is priceless (and the room rate was not). Today we wandered over to the Royal Botanic Gardens and made our way to Mrs. Macquarie’s Chair. Elizabeth Macquarie, the wife of the governor, enjoyed viewing the harbor from this location and her husband had workers carve a seat in the rock for her in 1810. The gardens themselves are also quite splendid. In celebration of their 200th anniversary, more than 10,000 white and red tulips were planted.
