Darren and Vicki's Travels
Hi all,
Well we have abit to update you with - the last hostel we stayed at didn't have wifi thats why there hasn't been any pictures recently neither has the place we are staying but i'm sure we will find a cafe with free wifi.
We stayed in the Katoomba for about a week - did loads of walking - although it gets dark at 5.
On our first walk we ended up walking the giant staircase - next to the three sisters (thats 300 steep steps) along with another 4 hours walking which we had already done that day - we were both knackered by the end of the day but there were some amazing views - just as long as you didn't look down!!!!
Next day we decided to relax and we went to the local swimming pool - although we didn't do any swimming - sauna and a spa which was relaxing.
We have been playing a lot of pool - i'm getting better i don't have to be drunk to play a decent game - although Darren say it's just flukes!!!!
On Saturday we decided to do touristy things we went to senic world and took the steepest railway in the world down to the rainforest (when the carriages took off they were playing Indiana Jones music). We took a wander down the bottom and then took the cable car back to the top - Again some amazing views.
We found this amazing chocolate shop it had a gallery where you could watch them makes the chocolates - well we decided to have a quick snack - this was the most amazing hot chocolate i have ever tasted - even Darren was impressed - although i have noticed that he seems to be eating a lot of chocolate - i hope that influence had nothing to do wit me!!!!. They also served the hot chocolate in a mini fondu thing - it was well cool.
We left Katoomba this morning and are now at Bondi Beach - the sand is immacculate although it's not that big - Portobello beach is much bigger - although the waves are impressive.
Right we hope everyone is well. Post another messgae in a few days.
Love to all
