Sydney day 2

Climbed the harbour bridge! Woke up and got breakfast at alexanders of course, and then walked really far to get to the bridge. It took us longer than expected (like always) and got there a few minutes late. The lady told us we looked stressed, what else is new?! We got all geared up, breathalyzer, and prepped on how yo climb and then began our adventure. We had 3 Aussies and a German in our group and were of course the only Americans. When we got to the ladder that you have to climb that goes in between 2 lanes of traffic the guy there helping asked immediately if we were Americans. We laughed and didn't know how he knew since we hadn't said anything yet but then he preceded to make fun of our accents and pretend to be valley girl. Then he told me he knew I was American because I had white (straight) teeth and only Americans care that much about their teeth hahah. We climbed ove 1,200 stairs and were about 450 feet high. We could see the entire city it was gorgeous!!!! We got pictures taken and learned a ton about the area from our tour guide. we could see queen elizabeths vacation home, it's right across from the opera house! We were told funny stories about prince Harry's house parties. Anyways learned a bunch then walked down the bridge! Went yo lunch at The Australians for pizza and then walked around a bunch. Saw the governors house, botanical garden, and parliament. Showered and went to dinner at kings cross, sketchy area, not too great. Today we are heading to bondi beach to shop!
