Blue Mountains

We are trying to see a little bit every weekend. We took a trip out to blue mountains. Its a 2 hour train journey from the city. The train was pretty full and there was a couple of annoying Germans across from us that were hogging the seat across from them with a jumper like it was a sunbed!

Well we stepped off the train and words can't describe how cold it was!! In my infinite wisdom all I had on was a T-shirt and 3/4 length shorts! So our first port of call was to get a jumper! I spotted some jumpers outside a shop and at $2o they were a good investment. So on to the matching jumpers in the photo, NO we are not one of those American couples that wear matching tops, jackets, socks, etc.

We done the scenic walk down what must of been well over a 1000 steps, which is by far the best thing you can do here. The view is exceptional! When we got to the bottom we took the Worlds steepest Railway back up the hill.

We ended up in the village of Leura and had a bite to eat. We arrived for the train 30 minutes early and it was raining and absolutely freezing so we went to a cafe to sit it out because there was no way we would have escaped without catching a cold.
