9/11/07 Tues.- Blue Mountains




We went to the Blue Mountains today- about 1.5 hrs from Sydney. We had lunch at a cute cafe in a small town- ?Laurel?. And then we took a sky rail across a gorge viewing "the 3 sisters"- a rock formation with an aboriginal story. Afterwards we took a very steep rail car down into the gorge and then hiked around a bit. We took in some info about the mining industry in the area. Then we took another cable car back up. Of course we got caught up in some rain again. But because of that we saw the most amazing rainbow I've ever seen. We headed back and took it easy for the rest of the evening at Sarah & Jim's.
