Hi Everyone,

We're just at an internet cafe in Bondi uploading shed loads of photos and it's taking ages and we're sat right under the aircon machine and it's freezing!!

Went to the Blue Mountains yesterday for some rainforest exploration. We walked for (literally) miles and miles in the rainforest and it was amazing. We only realised toward the end of the trek that it was full of snakes, spiders and other hellish creatures that would love to kill us! The views from the top were AMAZING! And for those folks who have been to the Blue Mountains (PATSY!!) we walked down the Giants Stairway (1000+ metres) and then after trekking thru the forest, back up the cliff walk which was another 1000+ metres up. So there!

Other stuff we've been up to: we walked across the Sydney Harbour Bridge and ate chips in a village called Kirribilli on the other side looking out over Sydney proper. There was a Latin festival at Darling Harbour which we went to some of but it was raining (our luck!). We've also had some ace meals out and cocktails at Darling Harbour and near Harbour Bridge.

We also went to The Rocks market which was fantastic and we bought lots of cool stuff. There is also a German bar there having Oktoberfest and serving beer is HUGE glasses (see the photos). I drank too many of these one day... the results weren't pretty.

We're off to Brisbane tomorrow for more fun and games. I'm hoping to head down to Australia Zoo, shame Steve Irwin won't be there!

OK, gotta get back to uploading photos.

Until next time, look after yourselves... and each other.

Love,
Tom and Priti
