Two years ago, my friend Cate and her husband Glenn gave their bridesmaids a generous gift – a free ticket to Bridge Climb Sydney.
I knew about this activity which involves climbing the Sydney Bridge thanks to an episode of Modern Family where they all did it.
And sure enough, when we got there, there was a picture of them up on the wall of celebrities who had done it!
We had to wear suits and then briefed on how to make the climb with rope harnesses wrapped around us.
I was a teensy bit apprehensive because I have a fear of heights, but it wasn’t that scary, actually! Maybe because it was dark and also the sides were quite high and we were all properly strapped in with harnesses.
At several points, we made stops for pictures overlooking Vivid Sydney.
At one stop, they played music and we danced as though we were in a club. So fun!
Here’s a picture with everyone else in our big group:
We got a certificate afterwards and my name was misspelled but I was to lazy to have it changed.
My thumb is wrapped with a band aid because towards the end I somehow ended rapping my thumb against something on the wall, and I ended up with a bloody nail. 🥲
I also got leg cramps the next day. I was limping in the airport on my way back to Singapore, and one of the airport personnel saw me and ordered a wheelchair for me. So for the first time in my life I was wheeled through the airport and that was a funny experience. 🤣
It was a fun activity but we all agreed that it was a one-time thing and not worth going a second time because of the price.
Really glad Cate and Glenn gave it as a present because I wouldn’t have thought of doing this!
