Our last full day in Sydney and the highlight was to be the climb over the Harbour Bridge. The weather wasn't looking too good at first light so we were expecting showers and poor visibility but in fact, it opened up pretty well and we couldn't have asked for more.
Annette still wasn't sure but the staff on the climb were excellent and she decided to go ahead anyway. There was an extensive safety briefing and lots of special kit - all very impressive. Our guide, Matt, was excellent and kept the commentary up for the entire walk. Once the initial, horizontal section over the approach road (only about 55 metres high) was completed the worst was over and then it was on up to the top where the views were stunning. And, not really surprisingly, even Annette enjoyed it.
From there we went back up one of the decorative towers (they're not actually part of the bridge) for photos as no cameras are allowed on the climb) and the a take-away sandwich/pie lunch before catching the bus to Bondi Beach.
Bondi is clearly a beautiful beach but the town is very run down and everything closed up at 4 o'clock so it was a bus back to the city and we caught the ferry back to Darling Harbour for dinner again but this time a lot less tired.
