O in Sydney

Yes, of course I'm going to continue to talk about Oprah until she goes back to the US. Before I do that, though, I want to say that I love my little weather widget on my site. If you look at the Chicago/Adelaide weather boxes on the left side bar, you can click on them. It takes over your screen (like a screen saver), and you can see the current weather as well as the forecast for the next couple of days. Right now, the Chicago widget looks like a barn on a snowy night in a Christmas card. It's so cute, and it makes me miss snow. I know it's cold up there, but as I've said before, I love snowy holidays. By the way, I hope the blizzard back home isn't too bad!

Back in the Land of the Warm, Oprah had a busy day. I can confirm that she did the Sydney Harbour Bridge Climb with 270 of her American friends and her best friend Gayle King. That's a big accomplishment for the talk show queen, who is reportedly afraid of heights. 
Picture
If you do the Climb, then you go all the way to the top of those black rails (134 meters/439.6 feet above Sydney Harbour). For a cheaper fee, you can also walk across the Bridge (Al and I walked halfway across- it's free) AND you can climb one of the pylons. The pylon costs anywhere from $10-20 (AUD). I can't remember the exact price. 

Read more about the Climb and last night's cocktail party and see pictures here.

Later in the day, Oprah hit Bondi Beach at famous Icebergs Dining Room & Bar. I watched her raving about her beef salad to the news reporters on TV as she walked out of the restaurant.

 I walked past Icebergs both times that I went to Bondi, and it always draws me in. I've never seen anything like it. Of course, it attracts lots of celebrities. 

I didn't get many pictures of it, but I got one of its pool that seems to run into the ocean.

It sits along this coastline.

If you click on the website that I hyperlinked above, you can see more images of the views as well as the interior. It seems like a remarkable restaurant. 

While Oprah was enjoying her lunch, some of her lucky guests took surfing lessons on the beach. That's another must-do when you can come to Australia. 

I'm not sure what the O is up to now, but I bet it's something fun.
