The Bridge
being a tourist with megan
27.04.2009 - 27.04.2009
My friend Megan, a fellow lifeguard from SF State who graduated last May, arrived in Sydney last Friday to spend a month visiting me in Australia. (She actually arrived in Australia while I was in Malaysia, but she took a connecting flight to Wellington, New Zealand to visit her friend Natalie.)
Deciding to be super touristy, we took the train to Milsons' Point in North Sydney and took in the gorgeous view of the harbor and Luna Park before climbing to a platform that led across...the Harbour Bridge! The view was incredible as we walked across the water, ships cutting across the glassy surface towards Circular Quay and out towards the northern beaches. At the end of the bridge, we paid $9.50 to climb 200 steps up in one of the pylons for an ever more spectacular view, which can only be described with photos:
The afternoon ended with a couple pints at the Australian Heritage Hotel in The Rocks before I had to catch a train back to UTS for a six o'clock class.
Meg's in town until mid-May, so the next few weeks should be fun!
