Katoomba(Blue Mountains) Aus.



We fancied a train ride away from the hustle and bustle of "city life", so, next morning it was off to Sydney Central to take the 2 hour train journey to The Blue Mountains for a spot of walking.


Checked in at YHA (what an excellent change for the better to have good accommodation) and took the explorer bus out to the edge of this mini 'grand canyon' The weather was good so great views were had throughout the day.


We walked for about 5 hours and then caught the excellent explorer bus back to Katoomba.


Today, however(Tues 27th), the weather has broken and so decided to have 'catch up' time in rural surrounds... excellent decision!!

Taking time to catch up on your blog. This entry reminds me of when Richard and I stayed in the Blue Mountains. We loved Katoomba but then went to spend a few days at a remote 'bush' hostel near a place called Springwood, where unfortunately one of the other hotel guests was a psychopath! It all ended in tears with him hitting another guest on the head with the kettle and us beating a hasty retreat back to Katoomba!! Glad to see that you had a nice psychopath-free time!
