Jan 25 - Sky Tower & Harbour Bridge Show

From there, we wandered back towards downtown. Since it was a clear day, we decided to go up the Sky Tower - height 328 meters. It’s like the CN Tower, just shorter. The CN Tower (553 meters) is now the 4th tallest building in the world. The tallest is the Burj Khalifa (828 meters) that we saw in Dubai in 2018. The views were glorious. We were able to trace the routes that we had taken yesterday - we covered a LOT of ground. We graciously declined the expensive opportunity to bungee jump or to walk outside on the skinny ledge. Not happening....

We were at the 8 mile mark, so we went back to the hotel, via the grocery store. Doug got a cold beer and we restocked our ginger snap cookie supply. He’s watching the All-Star Hockey Skills Competition now.

We hope to go to a light show at the Harbour Bridge tonight - we picked our viewing spot while we were up at the top of the Sky Tower. The temperature will be about 20°C. Perfect!

We had pizza for supper at Sal's Authentic New York Wood Fired Pizzeria. We've both had better pizza.

We did get up the energy to head back to the waterfront for 9:00 p.m., and yes, as my research had shown, there was a 15-minute light show on the Harbour Bridge. Very cool.

We're done for today - 23,600 steps = 11 miles. This tourist thing takes a lot of walking!Read more
