Bridge Climb

Today is the first day of summer in Australia. I know all about the cold, snowy, and icy weather back home....sorry about that. November was rainy in Sydney which was welcomed since they usually have such hot and dry weather. People keep telling us that the real heat will come closer to Christmas and the New Year.

This week we climbed the famous Sydney Harbour Bridge. We felt a little like astronauts as we went through the rigorous pre-climb preparations. Once you put on a pair of overalls with an official looking symbol on the front you feel like you're about to do something important. This bridge was built during the 1930s and was an important economic engine for the city. It provides amazing views and surprisingly is a very peaceful place to spend a morning.

 

 

 

Also this week I did a walk from Bondi Beach to Wastons Bay and took the ferry home. Enjoy the video.
