BRIDGE CLIMB

Woke up to rain and cloudy skies. Perfect weatehr for climbing the bridge eh!!!

After safety breifing and all that we set off up the bridges arches. Thankfully by this time the sky cleared and we had a good view over the harbour.

Berny, our guide, gave us pak a maks and told us they were parachutes and we may have to use them and these little kids were papping themselves.

Got some class views from the top, couldnt take a camera up there so photos below are from one of the towers.

One of the lads in our group proposed to his girlfriend at the top - What a gay!!!!









Walking down the streets a guy from some charity was stopping people trying to sign them up, he stops us and says ' Are you from the north of England' stunned I asked him how he knew and he reckons he can tell where people are from by how they look as he meets so many people from all over the world. He thought I looked like I was from Manchester - he must have mistook me for Sir Noel of Gallagher - I was having that like!! - spent the rest of the afternoon swaggering round town!!!!

In the evening we got the train down to the pier and had some food and drinkls and saw the harbour all lit up which was very nice!!



Few strange things about Ozzy Pubs:
1. All the pubs have bookies inside them so the barman doubles up as a booky.
2. The pubs sell a lot of off licence booze in cliche brown paper bags for people to take away.
3. Saw a barman actually washing some money, just the coins, proper soap and water job then toweled it dry - new meaning to money laundering!!!
4. Pints are smaller than pints back home, so I guess theyre not pints, think they are 500ml but makes you feel bigger than you actually are when drinking them.

    Are you sure he couldn't just spot you 'cause he knows that all northerners dress like chavs?
