Like we agreed yesterday that we would go to Manly in the morning. So we went and catch a ferry to Manly, thankfully that it all included on our '7 days ticket'... the ride on the ferry is indeed very rough as it was very windy on that day, the boat is literally rocking really wildly! We arrived and survived! Luckily when we arrived, the sun started to shine and it was hot. We only got an hour and half as we need to return Circular Quay in time for our Harbour Bridge Climb.. Finally we saw the famously Manly beach, there was a lot of people around, relaxing, surfing and taking pictures etc. The wave is very high and wild, no wonder why lots of surfer was there! It time for us to return Circular Quay... We actually couldn't believe that we are actually going to climb the most famous bridge! We arrived at the office, the staff was very friendly, but we was disappointed that they forget to book us an interpreter. They quickly phoned interpreter and she came quickly, we was impressed as it would never happen at England! They took us through the process etc. FINALLY, we started to climb up, as we got higher, they view is breathtaking and the leader kept telling us stories of what is there and what happened etc.. It was absolutely fantastic experience. I am glad that my dad has recommend and pushed me to go for it. We are very lucky to see the sunset when we climbed down. Everything is fantastic and I've really enjoyed myself, the interpreter is brilliant. As we arrived back the office, me, Asher and Dominic quickly rushed to Olympic Park to arrive there in time to purchase the ticket and watch the Rugby match (Australia vs South Africa)... It was fantastic match and so much better atmosphere compared to football! They even allow both team fans to mix, there was no fighting, no swearing etc. Today has been really long day for me - Manly, Bridge climb then Rugby match! As we walked back our hostel, we saw lots of people walking past us, going to nightclubbing... Of course we all was very tempted to join.. So we got changed and head for clubbing... The bouncer wouldn't allow Asher and Dominic as they wore short, despite me being underage but I was accepted in!! I wouldn't go in without them anyway so we headed back hostel and agreed to try out again probably on this Monday night..

Peter Hey son, I am glad that you managed to go for Manly. Wish that any interpreter in UK can turn up much quickly. Phew!! Thank you for lovely picture in Facebook. Love Dad
