Our adventure is complete! On July 3rd we were sight seeing all that Sydney had to offer. Visits to the infamous, Bondi Beach, Watsons Bay, Darling Harbour and much, much more. Mass in Saint Mary's Cathedral was beautiful, surely Gram would have loved and appreciated it. We also found time to shop at the local markets that were going on. After a long day of exploring we were ready for our real adventure, the Sydney Harbour Bridge Climb. Boy was it everythin...
