Last day in Brissie

Today I climbed the Story Bridge in downtown Brisbane, and it was fantastic!! A great view of the city, a hilarious tour guide, and an exhilarating experience. Story is the last name of some guy who had something to do with the bridge, but I was too distracted by the 240 and some foot high height, and the view around me to pay much attention to historical details. Going up was crazy fun, but walking down was sooo scary. I loved it! Apparently there’s only two other bridge climbs in the world, one in Sydney and one in Auckland. After I found that out I knew I had to do them both. Afterwards I had some Barramundi fish and a stubbie (stubbie= bottle beer?) and both were local and delicious. I have really enjoyed being in Brisbane, and I feel like there’s so much else to do in the city and the surrounding area. But now I’m on to my next adventure in Toowoomba for O Week!
Sweet outfit, yeah?
