Morning was spent finding the Post Office, figuring out how to send international mail, and taking a ferry from Circular Quay to Manly Beach, where we spent most of the day. In the afternoon we walked the nearby Royal Botanical Gardens. It’s a beautiful park, but would be much better to explore on a day without gray skies and drizzles.

On a whim, I decided to check out the Box Office at the Opera House. It just so happened that there was one open seat for Twelfth Night, performed by the Bell Shakespeare Company at the Sydney Opera House, that evening. Spectacular, and with a student discount to boot.
