I made it to...

...the Blue Mountains! Specifically to Katoomba to see the Three Sisters. It was gorgeous out today and considering the rainy weather forecast for the remainder of my stay in Sydney, I thought I better make the effort to get out there!

I was worried I wouldn't get enough time up there - there was a fallen tree on the tracks which was really delaying the train ride up and I spent a good half hour waiting at a train station. Considering it takes 2+ hours to get there, every minute counted. But what a good deal travelling by train - $10.80 round trip!

Luckily the weather hung in there for me...

I decided against the Skyway and to walk the trail instead. It was wet and muddy on the trail given the almost nonstop rain we've been having. Luckily I only had one shaky moment.
