after a disappointing first day where the fog blocked out everything, i ventured out with ppl i met at the hostel for a walk to the falls. according to the local guides, when fog envelopes the mtns and rain sets in the good thing is that the waterfalls in the area are at their best! andl and myself suited up and took a long walk to the far end of town and started down into the valley, taking in muddy steps and beautiful sights, the occasional glimpse of blue skies peeking through the fog. it was definitely luck on our side as the weather got better as we venture further. :P

the day ended with a mad and scary (especially on tired legs) climb up the giant stairway to echo point! where we were rewarded with the first clear view of the three sisters! :) back in the hostel we dried off and we had a lil international party to celebrate xmas in july as they do here. pizza and beer. cards and crazy ppl rounded it up well. ;)

day three saw the best weather as the worst of it headed inland over to the great dividing range. the newly discovered open top red bus with nat, the skyway, sinful hot choc, scenic world and a long ride back to civilisation filled the day. i didnt wanna leave but time was working against me! ohwells.. :)

"it was surreal walking along the streets in katoomba
when fog sets in after sunset,
when one feels so very alone in this world,
but also so alive."
