Now that's a bridge

Larry here, we went for a walk intending to take the bus tour, but wound up by the harbour front and walked along from behind the bridge in this photo past the ship in the next photo all the way around to the Opera House.  Here are some bridge stats, opened 1932 someone was planning ahead eight traffic lanes, two tram lines, a large sidewalk each side one for bikes, one for walkers.  You can walk up to the top of the bridge with a harness on. It's very popular at $150 a pop.  We counted four groups at a time, 14 per group. What a stunning waterfront.  I'll have to try and pull myself away from if but it won't be easy-be easyThThis afterno
on this big bugger is sailing at 4pm.  We're going down to have a drink on the terrace of the Opera House which is where this pic was taken from and watch the departure.  Our ship is about the same length but beamier and departs from here.  We can walk to it from the hotel.  Note the fuel barge beside the ship filling her up.  It's a fair sized ship in it's own right.  After that it's home for ham and whatever dinner on the balcony.  It's not easy but someone has to support the tourist trade but we're surviving.  We'll try the bus trip tomorrow.  There are ships departing Saturday and Sunday around dinner time, we'll watch from the center of the bridge and send pics.   Larry
