Flew to Auckland, New Zealand this morning. My last day in Sydney was very memorable. Spent all day on a trip to the Blue Mountains where I finally saw kangaroos in the wild. Nothing like waiting for my last day in Australia! Went to the rain forest and hiked to some lookouts to Three Sisters Rock and Wentworth Falls. It was very beautiful.

Last night didn't do the smartest thing I've ever done. Thought I would challenge my newly acquired fear of heights. It comes and goes so wasn't sure how I would react, but it's official I am afraid of heights. I climbed the Sydney Harbor Bridge along with the over 1.2 million people a year! Athletically it wasn't difficult, but the fear of plumping into the harbor or worse the traffic below was overwhelming. I was connected to the bridge and knew intellectually I couldn't fall, but the fear was still there. With all that said, I'm proud I did it. I wouldn't do it again, but glad I did.

See Mom, and you were afraid I'd get in the water with sharks.

Will update again later.
