Day 2

Jan. 21st, 2012

         After we got off the plane, we stopped in the airport and got some 'shrimp on the barbie.' All of us got into the car and took a trip down to the hotel we're staying at which is called BreakFree at George Sydney. Our room overlooks the harbor and there were 3 beds. David, Marc and Breielle got a bed, Justin had to sleep on the pull out couch, but Nick had to sleep on a cot that the hotel gave us.


The official certificate.
         Once we put our stuff away we went to go climb the Sydney Harbor Bridge. We paid and almost made our way up the first few steps when Nick decided he wanted to go back. Since he was at the front of the line, everyone made him keep going. We went higher and higher up; the scene kept getting better and better. It was a breathtaking view. All five of us made it up to the very top and got the official certificate. The guide told us lots of facts about the bridge and that the bridge's nickname is "The Coathanger." So all in all, everyone was a little scared at first but we made it through alright in the end with a great panorama of the city.


   We finished climbing and made it back down. Our climbing guide pointed out attractions we could go to afterwards. All of us went to the local mall and it was entertaining; some of us bought souvenirs while looking around at the kiosks and stores.
