5/5

When you check into the Fat Camel they give you a free city tour through Stray. I booked it for today. We started out by going up to the Sky Tower. The guide played a round of heads and tails amongst the passengers and the winner got a free ticket to the Sky Tower free fall. I was half jealous and half relieved when I lost my round. From there we drove to the top of an active volcano and stared down the loaded barrel of Ms. Nature's shotgun. We hit a pub for lunch and to talk amongst ourselves. I sat next to an English girl who had just arrived from visiting Portland. She talked about her favorite band, Death Cab for Cutie and I talked to her about bands that were better. We were short on time so we cut out the pier trip and headed down to the Harbour Bridge. There is a bungee company that operates a jump from the underside of the bridges pinnacle. We strapped on harnesses and walked out to the jump to witness one of the dudes on the tour take a leap. It was pretty sweet, but aderenaline costs 100$ for essentially 2 minutes under this bridge. When they asked if anyone else wanted to go, the word "yes" was on the tip of my tongue, but it hung on for dear life.
