The weather was cold and foggy! Very interesting!

0845: On the highway, the visibility was limited as it was very foggy.
0940: We had a stop at Goulburn for MacDonald's Breakfast, this town is lovely! We love the greenery of the field with many sheeps strolling everywhere. Before...
We pick up our hire car. It is a Toyota Yaris and manages to absorb our travelling bags without too much difficulty. We have been "upgraded" from a manual to an automatic which is a nuisance as the engine struggles to cope with hauling the bags and us up hills. We eventually navigate out of Sydney and are soon driving through small suburban towns. We have been given dire warnings about the enthusiasm of Australian speed cops so I am on my best behaviour although all the other traffic whizzes ...

There are lots of well marked walking trails in the area.We set out past the big Echo Point viewing platform and descend the Giants Staircase, a 900+ step path down the side of the cliff beside the Three Sisters. Some of the steps were carved out of the rock in the 1920s, some are on galvanised ladders. We catch up with a school party of children age about 10-12. At the back, there are a couple of plump older ladies who are struggling to keep up. Then there is a a young woman who asks me wher...

We drive to Blackheath and walk the Grand Canyon Trail from Neates Glen to Evan's Lookout. It is only 5km but involves descending into a narrow canyon on a path then climbing back up. We don't see anyone else until we have done most of the walk. It is even more spectacular than yesterday. It seem as though there is a striking new view around every corner. The most enjoyable walk so far. In the afternoon, we do domestic chores: a visit to the laundrette and Andrew has a haircut at great expens...

Today we walk from the town of Wentworth Falls. Wentworth was one of the trio of explorers who are credited with opening up the route across the Blue Mountains that connected Sydney with the rest of the continent. There are several different walking routes. We choose the Wentworth pass route that says "hard, for experienced walkers only". What does that mean, exactly? Many of us have been walking since the crawling stage. Once again the route starts with a steep staircase descent, passing the...

... Sisters gelaufen... und von da dann runter ins Tal gewandert...so etwa 3 Stunden... ein bisschen Regenwald-feeling...
Das Ziel war eigentlich so ein Castle... aber alle die uns entgegen gekommen sind, sagten wir sollten da nicht mehr hingehen, da es zu weit waere...also haben wir dann die "Golden Steps" aus dem Tal genommen...wobei die Steps nicht golden waren sondern einfach nur aus Erde bestanden...
auf den Treppen haben wir noch 3 Australier ...
... de l’intérieur. Ma vie me parait soudainement vraiment simple et claire. Je me sens aussi allègre avec une envie de faire des blagues toutes les 2 secondes. Je suis bourrée d’amour et de compassion aussi bien pour moi-même que pour tout le monde autour de moi… d’une intensité dont je n'ai pas le souvenir d'avoir vecu avant….
Et tout ca après seulement 10 jours ?!!! waouuuu…. Je me demande ce que de pratiquer tous les jours pendant ...
... beer for getting home alive in that piece of junk, and then returned home to clean up for the evening. We met Lenny and Dale at the Argyle up in the Rocks and had a pretty good time, including a long conversation with a girl from Rhode Island who Andy and I agreed may have been the dumbest individual I've spoken to at length in a long time. Andy and I decided to close out the evening in Kings Cross and didn't get home until really late.

Jackie and I decided to go hiking in Sydney's Blue Mountains. I originally wanted to do this trip, but thought I would run out of time. Then others said it was a must see, so I made time for it. We had a slightly overcast day, and took the 6 a.m. train from Sydney to arrive in Katoomba, smack in the middle of the Blue Mountains 2 hours later. We were told it was an easy ...

... Lakes that can be taken on this walk. Then after great breakfasting as usual we all headed down to Manly library, where Anni joined and we spent some time researching before taking out their whole collection of 4wd books. We put Flo (and Anni!) to bed and then while Alex updated the Blog, Clare set to preparing the evening meal. Charlie, a friend from Bristol days came over for dinner. Clare had ...

... the one we needed to go on! We passed signs for Liverpool and Newcastle and other place names, only familiar to me as a certain company's sites we used to manage! ;-) Gabs and Max will know who I mean! Do the words Parramatta and Gosford ring any bells????? hahahahaha! Arrrgggggggghhhhhhhh there's no escape from them, ever! LOL The traffic was awful and the rain was really heavy. This combined with the monotonous wipers going up and down made me ...
