The morning started off warm and sunny. We had breakfast outside on their brick patio and we met Mate, the B&B dog. He’s a little black, brown and white mutt and is adorable.
We decided to rent a car and check out the Blue Mountains. We made our way to Katoomba where we saw the famous ‘3 Sisters’ and beautiful landscapes at Echo Point. We bought a picnic lunch and headed to Grove Falls Lookout. Then we did some hiking that involved way too many stairs but was very fun. We hiked Grove Falls, then we went back to Echo Point and hiked down the ‘giant steps’ to the 3 sisters. We actually stood in the middle of one of the three sisters. Then we went toWentworth Falls and walked to the lookout.
Then we headed back to Sidney enjoying the little mountain towns along the way. When we got into Sidney we decided to take a drive to Bondi Beach which is one of the famous Sidney surfer beaches on the ocean. The beach was beautiful and lots of surfers were doing their thing. There were homes built into the cliffs on each side of the beach that reminded us of Cinque Terra in Italy. The town was a little dumpy but parts of it were nice. It was not what expected at all.
Then we headed back to the B&B. I must say, Sydney drivers are very aggressive and a little crazy. If you can believe it, the lanes are narrower than those on 6 forks road. And the buses do not stay in the lane, and neither does anyone else. Ai yi yi.
But along the way, we caught a picture of one of our favorite signs with the dancing people. We think it means “caution, dancing people”. Hah!
We dropped off the rental car and walked back to the B&B. We bought a bottle of Annie’s Lane Shiraz and sat on the brick patio enjoying some delicious wine. We went to a little Italian restaurant for dinner and then had ice cream on George St.A great way to end the day
