Sydney Harbour Bridge Climb

After John got to do his elective activity of diving with sharks the other day, Carrie chose her elective activity today as the famous Bridge Climb on Sydney's Harbour Bridge. They get you all suited up in a blue & grey bridge climb suit, hat, sunglass holders, radio & harness and send you up in groups of 12 to climb the many stairs & ladders up to the very top of the bridge which is about 1200 feet above sea level. You walk right under the lanes of the bridge for a bit on just two planks of wood high above the water, climb up 5 sets of very precarious ladders and then there's pretty easy stairs (steep but easy enough) up to the top of the arch. The views are amazing as the fact you are climbing one of the most famous bridges in the world with traffic & trains whizzing by beneath you. All in all a very cool experience. This time, John assumed his role of photographer from the Pylon Lookout and captured some pictures of Carrie on the bridge. In the picture on the left, Carrie is the last one in the group, and you can see the traffic on the bridge cruising by below. Was another fun and active day, but we were both knackered from all the walking today and yesterday. This evening, on a suggestion, we headed to "Little Italy" for dinner, a section of Stanley St with 3 Italian restaurants. We found this quaint little place called Cafe SaSa and had the best meal we've had here in Sydney. Super super yummy with friendly and down to earth service. A nice way to end the day...
