Grand Adventure Part 6 Day 5

Having had my plans go a little sideways, I got some washing done and sent off some mail. I decided to head in to the rocks and have a wander around.

In the ferry on the way to Circular Quay I decided I would do the pylon 'climb'. I walked to the first pylon on the Sydney Harbour Bridge and climbed the 200 stairs to the top. From there you have a pretty good view of everything. I took some pictures (on my phone) of the bridge and the bridge climb area. I went back down the 200 stairs and walked across the bridge to the second pylon, turned around and walked back to Circular Quay.

There are a number of things I have seen in Sydney that I find a little disturbing. 10-12 Police cars along George Street. 12 Security guards on the bridge. Last but not least, the security seal tape on every possible opening on the ferry.

Tomorrow sees a lunch with Paul Snedden and I believe I may wear a frock. Yes, I own one. Yes, I brought it with me. Al loves it.

Grand Adventure Part 3 Day 5

Late morning this morning with a lovely lunch at Temuru in Rhyll. To die for BLAT (bacon, lettuce, avocado and tomato) and the most enourmous mugs of coffee ever. I am sure you could almost bathe in them.



Then off to The Nobbies for some amazing views and the occasional penguin. The water was stunning as was the sky. Highly recommended (wear warm clothes and wear a beanie if you have a hole in your skull)

 Back to the bat cave for fish and chips!
