Definitely on my list of places I want to visit again is Sydney, Australia. Who DOESN'T want to visit the land down under???
I was chatting with a friend tonight about traveling and I remembered one of my most exciting journeys in Sydney: 1,332 steps to climb the bridge! It was so cool...as you climb up you come right by the Sydney highway traffic zooming past you....not to mention the absolutely stunning view of the city.
I had never even heard that you can do this, but good old Mama did some studying for us before we arrived in Sydney! This was a few years back, but looks like more current information is that prices vary depending on the season. For adults it looks like it will cost about $200-$300 per climber. Takes 3 1/2 hours and trust me-it is WORTH the time and the money!
I remember getting a little nervous as they put my climbing suit on and attached me to the bridge. But then I saw a picture of Mary Kate and Ashley Olson at the top of the bridge and I remember distinctly thinking..."Okay, if THOSE little things can do this then I've got it piece.of.cake." And as soon as I climbed onto the first step, it was a mix of adrenaline and pure excitement soaking up every second of the climb. Just an amazing adventure.
If you're ever in Sydney, this is a definite outting for the books. You will not be disappointed with this excursion...in fact...just thinking about it makes me want to do it again!
