Thanks to Liz for keeping the blog going while we've been touring and ringing in updates! No photos on this blog entry....that's to come. Today is our last day in Leura, Blue Mountain country. We hopped on our explorer bus at 1045 (an old London bus) and took a trip to the scenic highway. We took the scenic highway across the mountains, then a pretty hairy quick nosedive down to the bottom of the valley on a track route previously built for the old mines. Trust me, it was nearly vertical with no headroom...that's why the seats when you boarded were at a plus 45 degree angle!! To top it off we came back by cable car.... Later in the day we went to echo point/3 sisters, and looked across to where we had taken the rides earlier in the day. If we'd done that first I dont think we would have taken them!!!
The views were fantastic and I can't wait to download the pics. The day started off a bit cloudy-on the way back from the restaurant last night we had a pretty good storm and the mist came in. Fortunately it cooled the morning down, but by mid day the sun was shining strongly again.
Off to browse the local shops now..pictures to follow when we pick up with Frank and Liz tomorrow in Bowral/Mittagong. Bye for now.
