Conquering the Bridge Climb

Today was Bridge Climb Day!  While I was not that interested in doing the bridge climb, Will surprisingly wanted to so we did.  It was more fun that I expected though and I was glad we did it.  It wasn't scary at all and it was a cool vantage point of the city and you got to hear to hear some interesting information.  Everything was super well organized and well done but it was kind of pricey for what it was.  It was very fun except it got super windy when we were up at the top!  We're talking 50 km/hr winds!  We definitely had to hold on so we wouldn't get blown away!  The views were incredible though because you got to see how many bays were on the water and all of the boats that were out!  Sydney really is a beautiful city!  We weren't allowed to bring our own cameras though (or our own anything) so we didn't get any pictures of anything else. 
*Random note: For safety reasons, everything was clipped to us.  We couldn't bring anything with us and they even checked with medal detectors.  They gave us the clothes, the hat, the fleece, the headphones, and EVERYTHING was clipped in so nothing could go flying off or away!



 Afterwards, we walked around to get fun views of the Opera House before heading to The Rocks for lunch.



We had planned to get to the Rocks for lunch because once a month they have a little outdoor food market.  There were lots of yummy choices but it was a windy day and some of the stands were having a hard time not getting blown away.  However, we did have some yum eats with the locals.

 Pork sandwiches with crackling and crocodile and kangaroo skewers (ehh to the skewers!)
 


Afterwards, we walked around a bit more before heading to dinner.  We had Korean food which was delicious!  I mean look at how huge that egg is!



On the way home, we passed through Chinatown and saw they were having an outdoor food market.  We were full from dinner but we got some "Dragon's Beard" to try for dessert.  It's basically like the Chinese version of baklava.  Then it was off to bed!
