quicko: the manly ferry

The Manly ferry is awesome.  A half hour of riding doing absolutely nothing.  The scenery, of course, is gorgeous, and the first dozen or ten dozen or so times you go that's by far the highlight.  I still love it, of course.  Now though I also just love the ride for being nice and safe and cozy.  You can just plop down and you don't have to worry about where to get off, or when, or anything.  You just have half an hour to fall back, regroup and get yourself ready to face life on the other end.  You can retouch the makeup, finish the sushi, make a phone call you've been needing to make, catch up on your texts, read mX, read Harry Potter, doze or whatever else you like -- all in one trip!  I absolutely love it.
