One delicious year of adventures: Good bye Sydney, Hello Roaad trip!!

18th of January

Back on the road again!

This morning all the bags were packed and ready to go. Car collected at 11 am, back to Manly to pick up Angela and the bags. Said goodbye to John, Karren and the baby Sartori. Thanks to them we would not have had such an opportunity in Sydney. We enjoyed it very much, thanks guys!

Now for the journey ahead, first stop on the trip from Sydney to Melbourne is the Blue Mountains. On the way there I did manage to get slightly lost, by not taking the right lane on the motorway and I ended up in Parramatta, and then ended up driving aimlessly looking for the motorway again. Ooopsie! Ah well when Angela woke up and looked at the map, then we were back on track. The ears were popping as we ascended into the lush green valleys and the spectacular scenery of the surrounding mountains. On the way we stooped for a burger in Blaxland, and we got the served the biggest burger I have ever seen. It was packed with everything from bacon, to beetroot, etc. It was no match for McDonalds. If McD were serving this type of burger then they will be out of business very quickly. Anyway, stuffed we continued and arrived at Wentworth Falls, the first stop. The scenery was excuisite, and the high winds nearly blew us of the side of the mountain. Luckily the railing did its job.

Next stop Katoomba and the Three Sisters. We set up camp for the night, and went exploring the various walking tracks around the mountains. Darkness was setting in, and the bitter coldness was something we have not experienced in a long time. We were slightly unprepared for these conditions. In the morning we are going to see sunrise over the mountains.That should be a fine start to the adventures.
