Sydney - Monday

Early start today was collected at 8.00am this morning for my trip to the blue mountains. Grabbed some good coffee and was collected by a really lovely guy called John. He sat me in the front with him and we had to collect two other couples. Couple one, oh dear, were from Essex. Now I know or all my northern friends this will mean nothing; for my southern friends you know where this is going. The other couple were from Santa Barbara. The Essex couple kept saying everything we saw looked like something else I.e. oh those rocks are like Stonehenge, that rock face looks like the Grand Canyon! Well it isn't its Australia! The other couple just smiled at me looking confused. John the guide was brilliant. The Blue Mountains were stunning! So beautiful and the air was so clean.

We stopped and I got up fairly close to a little group of kangaroos, I was so excited lol! I asked Skippy if he needed to tell me anything about a helicopter in the ravine lol, he didn't answer me lol! The kangaroos just chomped away at the grass, it was so cool!

It was a good trip as it was very quiet and John knew a great deal and also you git to look at the suburbs. It really was an excellent day and once agin, I walked miles.

Got back to the hotel and I was going to have a nap, but couldn't sleep - typical. So had a shower, still got third degree burns lol so will have to cover up tomorrow. Note: It is difficult when you are on your own to apply sun screen! Went down to the harbour again as I can pick up some free wi fi. Wi fi in the hotel is $22 that's about £17, for 24 hours! Hence posting blog as and when I can.

I had a look around the Rocks again then caught the bus back as my legs are tired now. So I'm not setting the alarm tomorrow as this us the only chance for a couple of days to have a lie in. I think I am going to a wildlife park tomorrow, John the guide recommended it as I only want to see australian animals. Then I'm off to Manly beach but not to sun bathe because of my red bits lol! Then I will have to pack as on the move again. I really am having a wonderful time, I'm not going to want to come back!
