    5 октября 2023 г., Австралия ⋅ ☀️ 79 °F

    Well today we did a thing definitely out of my comfort zone. We did the Skypoint climb. It’s the tallest building in all of Australia - and we got to climb to the top of it. Cause Jordan’s and I’d motto lives on … if there is a tower, we must climb it!!

    Luckily it wasn’t too strenuous. After getting outfitted in jumpsuits and harnesses (and taking off ANYTHING that could fall to the ground - to avoid the $100k fine in Australia) we took an elevator to the 77th floor. We then went to the outside of the building and climbed 300 steps to the tippy top. It was exhilarating!!! Found out it was 2 1/2 times taller than the Sydney bridge - which put it into perspective for me.

    We weren’t allowed to take phones, so no pics, but they provided one shot for us which is nice to have as a memory.

    Then we hung out on the beach, and watched lots of surfers. Sunset is lacking a bit as we’re on the east coast but it was still pretty. (need to get up for a sunrise but not dedicated enough)

    Christie MitchellI THINK it’s to guarantee nothing can fall off of your person while up there (from your clothing). They even ran a metal detector over us to make sure we didn’t have anything “on accident” on us before we went up. Australia is VERY strict about … EVERYTHING. They have enormous fines for the smallest infractions from jaywalking to littering - very controlling of behavior. You name it and there’s probably a fine for doing it wrong. It kind of reminds me of Singapore. The positive … very clean and controlled behavior.

    Christie MitchellAnd I did ask … no one has ever fallen. 😂 not even hung there by the harness. there were 3 "challenges" on the climb up where you'd stop and "hang" over the edge. terrifying.
