We had (the Bridge Climb) of our life!

Past HoneyLuna clients, Maria and Rich, share their
Sydney Harbour Bridge Climb experience!


Do HoneyLuna clients really enjoy the gifts they get from their honeymoon registry? You bet they do!! HoneyLuna clients Maria and Rich spent their honeymoon in Australia enjoying many fun items and activities of their honeymoon that were purchased from their HoneyLuna registry as wedding gifts.

Here is their story of one of their favorite gifts...

"The Sydney Harbour Bridge Climb is a 3.5 hour tour that takes you 440 feet to the top of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. On one wall are pictures of celebrities that made the climb. The first half hour was basically spent suiting us up: a jumpsuit, a belt with the contraption that keeps us hooked up to a wire line the whole time we’re climbing, a baseball hat, a hanky (because your nose gets really runny while you’re up there), a scunci for the girls, radio packs and head sets.

They took us through a sample catwalk and rules on how to climb up and down the ladders. This had to be one of the coolest experiences I’ve ever had in my life. If you ever go to Sydney and do one thing….this is the thing to do! The scariest part was climbing up 4 ladders to the arch of the bridge. Basically you are coming up these tiny steps and you’re coming up as traffic is whizzing past you on one side. Coming down, a train can speed by you at any minute. Once you are on the arch, it’s a breeze. The views were incredible!

We didn’t pay for the sunset tour which is $80 more but we still got the sunset. Gorgeous! Our group was small: 2 Americans that lived in Sydney for 2 years but were moving back on Saturday, and their 2 friends that visited from Florida. They just got engaged while visiting Cairns. Our guide, Nick, looked like Tom Cruise. He was hilarious and I think his sense of humor kept us all at ease. By the time we were done with the climb, we climbed approximately 1200 steps. But you don’t realize it until you start taking off your gear and feel how sore your body is.

Their motto is “Get ready for the climb of your life.” That it was!"
