We arrived in Sydney yesterday and promptly started walking the town. We are staying near the harbor, so we explored the are called the rocks which includes the opera house and the Sydney harbour bridge. There is quite a bit going on especially since it is St Patricks day. They were practicing yesterday and we are right next to the oldest Irish pub in Australia. What they do here is put barricades around the pubs to keep the revelers contained. This morning was Eileen's big day. She climbed to the top of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, up ladders, over catwalks and up and down over 1337 steps. At the top she was 134m(approx 45ft) above the water. While she was climbing the bridge I walked the bridge to the other side and walked down to the water and took some pictures looking back to Sydney. I then walked back to the pylon on the Sydney side and got there just in time to see Eileen climb the ladder to the bridge arch. After that we took the "Hop On -Hop Off" bus around Sydney getting off when we saw something interesting. Sydney is a very energetic city, we are glad we took and extra day here, there is so much to see.
