Now I've got a visitor here in Sydney, my friend Odd-Arne from Norway arrived this morning. We had a great Aussie breakfast and later we went to Coogee Beach, someone even got burnt after 1 hour on the beach... :) So we decided to head back home and relax for a while. Next plan now is to go to the bottle shop, and after we'll see what happens.
We have all the days until Tuesday next week to go around in Sydney, on Tuesday we'll fly down to Melbourne for a week to experience the Great Ocean Road.
As some of you may have noticed there's a huge cyclone headed for Queensland, so let's hope for the best for everyone up there! The concern down here is bush fires because of the very nice and hot weather lately.. Hopefully we'll have some rain so this won't be an issue later on when we want to go to the Blue Mountains.
Cheers!

The Blue Mountains
Yesterday I went to the Blue Mountains west of Sydney together with Johanny. We had a nice rental car, so it was easy for us to drive up to the mountains in the early morning. The first place we stopped was Glenbrook where we got some information about the area.
The first sight was the place called Wentworth Falls, this is a waterfall and around the area there is a spectacular view over the Blue Mountains.
The second stop we did was at Katooma, this is the most famous place with the famous "Three Sisters" mountain formation. We decided to go for a hike, so we did a 7 km walk which included 1000 steps down, and of course 1000 steps back up on the other side of the mountain.
After our hike we were out of energy so we drove to Blackheath were we found a very nice bakery.
We drove back to Sydney again in the evening on a smaller road than most tourists, so we saw some nice farms and rural Australia. We returned the rental car in the same condition as we got it, so no problems there... :)
