Well at the time of writing this, being the 10th of August 2008, we have just completed another week here at the Manly Marina Cove Motel. As in an earlier post, this property is extremely busy, so busy in fact; I haven’t even left the premises. The bride gets out occasionally, hence the other day she took a break and did coffee with some dear friends who were up from the Goldie, and managed to take a few more happy snaps.
Like any new property we relief manage, they all take a little time to digest computer systems, policies and procedures. However being the “old geezer” I am, nothing was going to beat me. Hence it has been pedal to the metal & face to the rock wall. Now we have just about conquered all, therefore the balance of our stay will be just that little bit easier. This also gives me the opportunity to thank the staff from the Manly Hotel (our bosses) for their support and help during this first week or so.
Also got to give a wrap to the Australian School Boys under 18 Rugby League team, players, coaches and officials, who have been staying with us. All have been a pleasure to have. The team played the Poms last night, and although won a very tight encounter, most of the lads are fairly stiff and sore this morning. Have also met some interesting people from wealthy yacht owners, high flying engineers, right down to Mr. & Mrs. Average. Great cross section of people. We have accommodated some crews on super yachts…..what a great life they have. Thought us being a couple of Retro Roamers, did it pretty good…phew….we have nothing on these folks.
I don’t know much about Manly, but what a really neat area it is. Some really flash houses bless the surrounding hills, and the huge marina with super yachts, worth gazillions of dollars at our door step, just blows me out of the water. The village of Manly has a real nautical feel about it. Again haven’t had a lot of time to discover the area, but might be able to do some tooooooristy things in the future. Enjoy the photies
In the mean time stay toooooooooooned for the next adventure of the “Retro Roamers.
