It was 9am when we left the bridge and headed back for a much-needed nap. We hung around waiting for the crowds to disperse some before we made our way off the bridge, grabbing some food from the buffet and food trucks along the way.

It started to get bright again and I experience my 2nd sunrise in a day, which was all sorts of bizarre. There were a ton of drones being flown that day – here’s a timelapse video that gives you a much better idea of what it was like to go from night to day to night and back to day again.Īnd just as suddenly as the moon started to uncover the sun, it was like the lights were switched back on again. I took a very short video to capture that moment. This was taken about 640am – the sun had risen properly and it hadn’t started to get dark yet Total eclipse of the sun (and my heart of course)ħ20am: the moment of the total eclipse was pretty damn epic – though you couldn’t see the sun for the clouds, the sky had become pitch dark and the crowds around us were singing – there was a real swell of emotion in the air. And everyone was looking upwards, waiting and watching. Seriously the swell of people was insane.
