Things have settled down since our arrival here in Sydney. My son is now in his new home just north of here in Newcastle. I took my step-daughter and her friend up on the Sydney Harbour Bridge for the 'Bridge Climb,' something nobody should miss if visiting. Sitting on top of the bridge overlooking the entire harbour and a good portion of the city, there is no better view that I know of. This was my third climb, so I'm now a 'Master Climber' on the Bridge Climb Company's books. Not sure what that means other than I've spent a lot of money and I got a free photo of us on top the bridge. We did the new 'Discovery Climb' which gave us more time up on top and a better climb through the steel framework of the bridge, all for the same price.



Prior to the climb the three of us had lunch at a cool little mom and pop restaurant located just under the bridge in the Rocks district. The Rocks is the location of Sydney's oldest pubs, hotels, and is the site of the first European settlement on the continent, so it holds a lot of history. It also sits under the bridge and right next to the opera house, so location is choice if you're looking to relax and enjoy the city.



I promise to have lots of photos soon. I'm currently a slave to the Holiday Inn Darling Harbour internet scheme, which limits what I can do. Instead, when I get to the next hotel I will have better access to load up the photos.

I'm receiving emails on my blackberry from the tmmkkt22@yahoo.com account if anyone has any questions or specific requests for photos.

It's now 0620 in the morning on Sunday and I'm off to jog around the Opera House and watch the sun rise from the Pacific and over the the Harbour. Using a new camera this time around, so hopefully the photos will turn out nice.
