From Jervis Street to Jervis Bay

19th of January

Bloody freeezing

Blue mountain valley

That was some nights sleep! I am being sarcastic here, by the way. Going to sleep last night was cold but waking up was something else. It was 5am and the night sky was still with us. Our faces were like little cubes of ice, and getting out of the sleeping bag was an adventure in itself. But mind over matter is all you need, and we were up, pretty much wearing everything we own to stay warm. To see in the day we went equipped with a tripod, a camera and body heat. It was beautiful, as daylight was breaking over the three sisters mountain range we stood there snap happy. The colours were magnificent over the valley, as it started to get brighter. It was worth waking up early, definitely and the cool fresh air is very good to breathe once in a while.

After bbq beans for breakfast and a cup of tea, we set of to Echo's point for a view of the Blue Mountains. The green valleys stretch for miles, and make for a beautiful image and memories.

That was that, the next destination is the worlds whitest sand beach. It is in a place called Jervis Bay Marine Park. The beach itself is called Hyams beach. First we had to get there and it took a good 3 hours driving from the mountains, but it was pleasant. We stopped to camp in Husskinson town, about 10 mins from the beach itself. We ended up having a swim and a bbq dinner with a few beers to celebrate our return to the travelling ways.
