I climbed a bridge!!!

The Story Bridge in Brisbane opened in 1940 and is 243 ft high, 2,549 ft long, and 79 ft wide.  The Story Bridge is one of 3 bridge climbs that you can do in the world.  I think we climbed ~1,100 steps throughout our journey.

Watched a short video on safety, took a breathalyzer and then suited up for the climb.  We weren't allowed to take anything with us, so I couldn't take my own pictures but our tour guide had us stop 3 different times for photos and then at the end gave them to us on a flash drive.  We wore harnesses which attached to a line on the bridge so we weren't going anywhere.  I totally felt safe at all times.  

We started at 5:40 so our first photo was taken when it will still a little light out.  Ross, Claire and I were the brave ones to climb the bridge!

 This was our next photo and you can see the city in the background.

This was our last photo and you can see part of the bridge behind us.  I told the guide that they made the lights on the bridge red, white and blue for us because they love Americans, hehe:) 

I would highly recommend the bridge climb because it's easy to do and the view is breathtaking!
