Left hotel early this morning for a day trip to the Blue Mountains.
Would you believe whilst on the coach we had a heavy shower of rain, first we've seen since we left the UK. Today has been much cooler and the rain soon cleared, a relief not to have it so hot after being is such high temperatures.
The mountains are so named because of the blue haze produced by the eucalyptus oil evaporating from the trees. One of the highlights was a trio of pinnacles known as the "three sisters".
We took the scenic railway to the bottom of the gorge, which is the world's steepest railway, we did a nice walk at the bottom before taking the scenic skyway (cable car) back.
Then had a lovely three course lunch which was all included in our trip.
On our way back we stopped at The Edge Theatre which had a large IMAX screen where we saw the history of the Blue Mountains area.
More soon!
