Australia
First day arriving in Australia - Sydney
Our first day in Sydney; we had a swim in the morning in an open air saltwater pool under the shadow of the Harbour Bridge just next to Luna Park. The rest of the morning was taken up with sleeping in the park in the sun in front of the Opera House - we were a bit knackered from the flight.
Katoomba - Blue Mountains near Sydney
The Giant’s Stairway (900 steps - there were some eager idiots coming up on our way down) and along the path to the terrifying vertical train on a rope thing. The walk was good but all too short; it would definitely be worth spending a few days up this way and taking the time to hike for longer and explore more of the area.
