Australia Day 2

Its been quite a while since I blogged so thought I would do a quick and much delayed update on our trip to Australia. Day 2 started real early for us as I had booked what has been much touted as the "Must DO" thing in Sydney...and that is to climb the Sydney Harbour Bridge. I had booked our slot way in advance to make sure we had one and it sure wasnt cheap....but quite worth the experience! We had a real funny climb master and the headsets supplied was constantly filled with little tidbits of information and jokes. As we hit the top....we had quite a fantastic view of the Sydney Harbour and the Opera House....beautiful! They really know how to milk you with especially since you cannot take your own camera up there and they charge you about $25 bucks a photo..and since you made such a trip and climbed all the way...you naturally take them all! After the trip we took the ferry over to Manly for lunch. We really wanted to try the famous Australian Fish and Chips and what a meal it was! The chip shop was fantastic and the food was enuff to fill us twice over. Manly was like a different world...a little touristy but laid back. Well....back to Sydney...a spot of shopping, checked out the casino and a early nite (not out on the town) in view of our really really really early flight to Tasmania.

Ive always wanted to go to Australia! My grandparents also walked across that bridge, to bad they don't let you throw stuff off! I think it'd be neat to see a watermelon fall on the road below (but not on cars or people! haha)
