"UP"

I'm scared of heights so being 'up' high doesn't do much for me!!
But, I have been to some places where you do have to venture upwards in order to experience the most of what there is to see.
I have been 'up' the Eiffel tower, although we were not allowed past the second level. I'm not sure why or whether that is just standard procedure.
I have been 'up' the Rialto tower in Melbourne. It was quite breathtaking watching a helicopter fly past at the level we were standing on.
I have been up Mt. Rigi in Switzerland. And just getting there was a feat in itself as those cable cars are not for the faint-hearted and definitely not geared for the 'scared-of-heights' population! But the views and the atmosphere in general were not to be missed!
I have been up in the mountains behind Chiang Mai where the poppy's are grown and the villagers all wear brightly-coloured clothing and smile with dark brown teeth.
I have been 'up' on a skywalk in Tasmania but I have to admit that I couldn't walk out on the swinging arm at the end of it as the wind was blowing it from side to side. So, us girls frantically watched as Jake and John traversed the swaying arm to peer down into the Huon River a hundred metres below.
There are just times in your life when you have to take the risk or miss out on the 'ups'!!
