We were woken up by a knock on the door. It was time to wake up and head to the 'office' to print a few visa application forms. All done, we headed home to pack our bags for the Blue Mountains.
We sat in the back of the Ute watching the scenery whizz by. There was a lot of new housing estates being built along the main road heading north. Australia seems to be filling up ... well this road seemed to be!
We checked into our budget breaking boutique hotel which was in Katoomba, the main town of the Blue Mountains. We dropped our bags and went for a walk to the nearest view point for the 3 Sisters. Wow ... really pretty and you could see the blue hue of the eucalyptus trees that make the mountains look blue.
A huge thunder cloud opened its fury as we ran for cover in the tourist office. We spent about 20 minutes studying various leaflets on the area until the skies brightened once again.
We walked into the centre of town to sample the local fish and chips. They sprinkled on chicken salt which was nice. There were lots of bars and restaurants but many were closed early even though there was plenty of people about.
