Sydney Scenes (part 2)

We climbed a bell tower. 
Can't say that's a common occurrence in my usual week!




 These are the little adventures that come with fantastical friends like Justin and game friends who don't mind a late-night climb (Rich & Kate, we salute you!)



I, for one, was not so brave. A little trembly at times, to be honest! My long dress & flip flops didn't really assist balancing on the old ladders, nor did my desire to snap pictures mid-climb.

Turns-out I have quite a crush on old, enormous, ear-splitting bells - they are a beautiful work of art, both to hear & see!

 
 

Two tiny spiral staircases & three ladders later, we were a-top the tower. After I'd recovered my composure & stopped the knee wobblies, it was breathtaking.

We spied on Sydney, in the warm evening air, from the bell tower of the oldest church in the city. Accompanied by Justin's historical gems & overall group wonder, it was marvelous.

And to know that age has not been a hurdle to the vitality & life within these church walls is even more marvelous!
