Our shop in Manley was such a hurried affair that we forgot some important supplies and as we came across a bus stop on one of our walks around the community of Patonga we decided to catch the bus to Woy Woy. The bus climbed the steep hill out of Patonga and then quickly plunged again down to the little settlement of Pearl Bay. What a pearler of a bay. Imagine your absolute ideal heaven and this is it. We spotted a very inviting looking coffee shop so a walk here tomorrow was a decision that was confirmed then and there.
We have found that people who drive and ride on the buses are creatures of habit. The bus driver obviously knows who everyone is and a stranger is usually well looked after as he/she makes sure you don't get lost. A senior lady caught the bus in Pearl Bay and came to an abrupt halt as she spied us on one of the high seats towards the back. 'Have I seen you before?' she enquires. 'No.' Then she says, 'I've never seen this many people on the bus.' As the other seven people were locals an extra two were an attention grabber.Woy Woy is on Brisbane Water south of Gosford and surrounded with mangroves. Not the sort of place that ones aspires to holiday in but served it's purpose for us.
