The bike ride was over by 13.30 and Raleigh and I were off to play cricket at the park when Laura just got off the phone to the Bridge Climb people. And just like that there happened to be two spots available at 15.55. Bang! We took a hold of an "offer you can't resist" - a very generous gift by my Dad - to climb the Harbour Bridge. So we climbed the bridge this afternoon. The weather was great - very clear and a little wind at the top; really an excellent afternoon to climb. It was very cool.
Afterward Raleigh and I looked for a pub that was open but Sydney was basically a ghost town today. Almost everything in Sydney is closed on Christmas. Oh well, we have a few more days to visit some more pubs. Meh...tomorrow is Boxing Day - another national holiday.

Yes, we finally made it atop the bridge. And what a view we had! This is a pic our guide took, since we can't take anything on the bridge...

Ahh just like Crocodile Dundee--only he actually worked up there painting the bridge. You pikers. All you could think about was "where is my next Foster's!" Come to think of it, that's probably what Crock was thinking of when he was up there, too.

I'm so glad you did the bridge. You'll never regret it. We had a good day here too. Up at Mt Hood it was snowing and beautiful. Take care!
