Our hiking trip in the Blue Mountains

Last Thursday we got up really early for the first time and went to the Blue Mountains with Stéphane. Waiting for the bus to come we watched a great sunrise at Bondi Beach :-)!
After around three hours on public transport (bus and trains) we arrived in the Blue Mountains around 10:30 a.m. We took the explorer bus (London double-deck-buses) over there and went to Echo Point. This is the spot for seeing the famous Three Sisters.
We decided to do the most spectacular hike with around 900 steps downstairs and then up again on the other side of the valley. It was a nice walk and we did quite well because Dirk reminded us all the time that walking many steps is the best exercise to get a nice bum ;-)! We passed the Katoomba Falls and met only a few people. After the walk we took the bus again to see a little bit more of the area. We visited a small town called Leura and had some food in Katoomba before taking the train back to Sydney around 4:30 p.m.
Back in Sydney Stéphane and Silke went to the Cruise Bar in the Rocks. There we met Ricardo and some of his Columbian friends to dance salsa and drink Mojitos. Silke got really dizzy after one and a half Mojitos and dancing because her dance partner twirled her around so much. But anyway it was great fun and a really sportive day :-)!
