Blue Mountains

Giant Staircase, 1000 steps to the valley floor

Eucalyptis Tree...It's oils give the mountains their blue hue

After a late start, and a slight misinterpretation of the Sydney bus schedule I ended up sprinting through the city for the railway station (which draws quite alot of attention seeing as a can barely run). I was meeting back up with andreana and Eva who had also arrived in Sydney the other day. We were taking a trip to the blue mountains, about 2 hours out of the city. They were amazing. I could have easily spent a few days there. A lot of Sydney resident go there for climbing, trekking, repelling and all that. Since we had one day and had to stick to the stupid train schedule we did the touristy hike, which was awesome none the less. At the end of the day we hike for a couple hours, climbed the 1000 stairs, saw katoomba falls, and hiked around the 3 sisters. And then like the typical Americans that we are we stop for a lunch at subway before heading back into the city.
