For my birthday celebrated in February, I was generously given two ‘experience’ vouchers, and a while ago I redeemed some of one for doing Trapeze (did I blog about that?). The remainder of the vouchers went on a sea plane flight, rather on a whim. What a way to start a weekend!
I will not share all 134 photos graphs and the few videos I took.
It was about 15 minutes in the air, but it felt like ages. We went out past the harbour heads and flew down to Bondi beach, before turning around, allowing the other side of the plane a view. Once back inside the harbour, we climbed up high so we could fly towards the Harbour Bridge.
Landing was a fun challenge with all the Eastern Suburbs private schools having their little sailors out in the water!
I’m kicking myself I didn’t think to add this to my 12 in 2 list – but then again, I had some spaces, so there’s nothing like adding to a list, only to strike one item off!
Those are awesome photos, Sarah!! Gosh, Sydney's pretty. I miss it, I haven't been back since we left in 2011. Long overdue.
You flew over our old apartment (or would have, 30 seconds or so after Photo Number 6.) I know it so well I can almost pick out individual buildings from the photo.
Have you done the cliff walk from Bondi to Coogee (or beyond – to Maroubra?) That needs to be on a 12 in 2 list or some kind of list. Preferably starting the walk at dawn to watch the sun come up over the ocean. Gosh – memories!!!
Isn't that amazing you can pick out your apartment.
I like the thought of dawn, but weekends of late have been about late sleep ins to compensate for the early mornings on work days.
Cool choice of experience!
A bit out there, but great views
Brilliant! How beautiful is Sydney! I want to do is!
The flight to London would have been an adventure. One that probably couldn’t be replicated now.
Wouldn't it be insane to do so many hops. it would be so noisy and cramped too.
Do it! Do it! Or helicopter – either is awesome!
