On top of the World - Down Under

Wow!!!! We have just spent our last day in Australia with what we hoped would be the highlight of our stay in Syndey - the Harbour Bridge Climb. And we were right!! It was an absolutely amazing experience and an incredible piece of engineering - done without the aid of a single computer!!!

We were really lucky with the weather - it was fine, warm and not too windy when we set off, although the wind and rain did come in as we reached the final descent.

It has left us feeling on top of the world as we now head back to the hotel to pack ready for our trip onwards to New Zealand tomorrow (Monday) morning.

Footnote:

Some things we have found interesting in our time in Australia but have not mentioned before:

Vegemite is definitely no substitute for Marmite!
A lot of brand names taste different here to the UK.
There is no alcohol for sale in supermarkets - you have to go to a "Bottle shop" to buy your beers and wine etc!
Thongs are flip flops (Bob was very disappointed!!!)
The Aussies shorten any word they can.
Customer service is much better than in the UK!
IT DOES RAIN IN AUSTRALIA!!!!!!!!!!!
