Nic on her birthday!
Yippee! After arriving to a mysteriously thick misted Katoomba yesterday it was great to wake up to a clear sky. After enjoying a slice of birthday cake and a quick coffee we began exploring the Blue Mountains. We visited the Three Sisters, Echo Point, Katoomba Falls and various other view points before heading down the Giant Stairway (Nic's legs were like jelly at the end!!) and along the Federal Pass through gorgeous rainforest before reaching the bottom of 'Scenic World'. Here we wandered slowly along a boardwalk (wooden platform, built off the ground so you can get a closer look at your surroundings), before deciding to take the cable car back up to the top of the valley. the cable car trip just didn't last long enough and the views were gobsmacking.
After our little expedition in the rainforest we got all glammed up and headed into town to begin celebrating Nic's bday. We went for a few drinks (Nic had a flourescent blue cocktail!) and had a fantastic meal before rolling back to the campsite, full and content.
Well, what a breathtaking write up. Feel like we are there with you both. I think you have found your new vocation in life - travel writers! What a fabulous way to spend your quarter century birthdays. You certainly will never forget them. David said you were canyoning and I think absailing next, wow. Looking forward to the next instalment. Happy birthdays to both of you once again, and will speak to you over Christmas. with out love, mum Dave & Franki, Nana and Grandad too, Bomber and Tuppence! xxxxxxxx
