On Sydney Bridge



Sydney harbour is a pretty impressive sight and its bridge one of the main landmarks (after the Opera House).

What surprised me when I got up on the bridge at the end of a weekday afternoon was the number of people who were walking across it from the business side - obviously returning home after a days work - some in suits carrying briefcases, others in jogging gear.
Couldn't imagine the same thing happening on Lisbon's 25 April bridge - in fact I believe its against the law to cross it on foot!
Mind you, I read recently that they temporarily grassed over the entire Sydney Bridge one day and held an enormous picnic there - now that's a creative idea.
