Weekend in Sydney

 We had our long awaited weekend away to Sydney.  We had the most amazing time visiting family and doing the Sydney Harbour Bridge climb.

You can see for miles.

After the Bridge climb we walked around to the Sydney 
Opera House Bar for a little celebratory drink
.

We walked past the ferrys.



We could see Luna Park across the Bay.

Waiting for our drinks.

I had a little cocktail.

We had such an awesome weekend, not long enough.
So much more to see and do.
