Australia was amazing!!!!

November 1, 2008

Sydney bridge climbI cannot say that I enjoyed one part of it more than the other. Heron Island was wonderful, relaxing, and warm. We went on a picnic every day. Swam with Sea Rays and Phil was the adventurous one and swam with a Reef Shark. Lamington’s was just as fabulous. We went on a trek with Mick O’Reilly, he was so full of information everywhere you looked there was something to see.
We had a wonderful time in Sydney as well. The condo was the right choice and it was in a great area, we walked practically everywhere. The bridge climb was so exhilarating; I cannot believe we did it. I was a little nervous at first but then you start up the bridge and are so in awe of the view you completely forget how high up you are. Hope you are doing well and cannot wait for the next adventure!
