I would love to tell you that the Blue Mountains are absolutely gorgeous but I wouldn't know because we haven't seen any. Literally. We left Sydney in sunshine yesterday and just before we arrived at Katoomba the fog came and has never left. And today it has poured down every single minute. It has been too heavy to set foot outside so we have been relaxing in the comfort of Lilianfels, our hotel. We feel as though we are somewhere in the Cotswolds - afternoon tea, restrained elegance and lots of Japanese people filming everything in sight! We did have a lovely long swim in the rather special pool which we had to ourselves and I discovered that my swimming attire is NOT suitable for backstroke (the maintenance man got more of an eyeful than he bargained for I fear!) On the note of swimming Robert would like me to tell you that we went to Bondi Beach before we left Sydney. It was a bit disappointing really, not the beautiful people we had expected and a bit seedy like any seaside town, but the surfing was very cool.
This is our last day in Australia and we're sad to be leaving. It's been fun but we're looking forward to the next part of our adventure in New Zealand.
Can I just give a general apology for any typos which may occur on the blog or in emails. I don't have spell check on either and although I do try to correct any mistakes I spot I do know that some are slipping through. SORRY!
