This morning, we made our way to Katoomba area in Blue Mountains. Today is a cold day, with very strong winds. When the wind blows, it bites your bones and your whole hand is numb.
We went to Scenic World. Before we take any of the rides, we went for a quick breakfast. First we went to Scenic Skyway which is glass bottom. The wind is so strong, the whole cable car is shaking. When we reached the other side, we couldn’t stay long at the lookout point because it was too cold.
The place was so windy at the lookout point
by the way, that stone is called 3 sisters.

Our next ride is the Scenic Railway, which is a very steep downward ride. It was fun. Then, we had to walk along a footpath to get to the cable station and take it back to the top. Along the way, we learnt a lot about the history and geographical facts of Blue Mountains.
After we got back to the top, did some shopping at the souvenir shop before we go for lunch. We wanted to look for Hungry Jacks, but due to the very cold weather, we decided to buy food for lunch and dinner and cook the food back at the accommodation.
Here are some pictures of the accommodation at Blue Mountain. Actually, technically, it was more at Wentworth Falls. Blue Mountain is a huge area. Katoomba is just one town which you can go to see some part of the Blue Mountain.

We had spaghetti and pumpkin soup for lunch. We grilled and bbq for dinner. But back at the balcony, which oversees the valley, it was very cold. We hurriedly cooked the food before all of us settled down for dinner.
Tomorrow, we will be making our way back to Sydney city.
