The night i wrote my previous blog i was planning on an early night but instead i ended staying up late chatting to people in our dorm before crashing out in the early morning. Had the deepest sleep ever!!!!!! Unfortunately for me i had to be up at 6am the next day to check out and walk with all my stuff to the tour centre, in Sydney central. Sydney is highly influenced by China and Hong Kong, with their own China Town, making up a large part of the city. Its rare if you actually meet an australian with all the tourists! I picked up the small mini bus at 7.15am for my guided tour to the blue mountains. Our tour was meant to be for backpackers so we had a VERY energetic tour guide who was a comedian for the whole day and made the experience even better. Our first stop was in a national park where we got to stop and look for kangaroos. We managed to see 3 through the mist rising of the cold day, before heading to the blue mountains themselves. On the bus i met a lovelly guy also travelling by himself from england and we spent the whole tour together having a great laugh. The walk around the blue mountains was petrifying! The walkway was around the cliff edge and i wouldnt like to guess how far the drop was. The view was amazing as we scrambled up and down the rocks (and my friend slipping one to many times for my heart to almost give up) for 2 hours, surrounded by rocks and the biggest forest below. Being adventurous we decided to climb a rock just off the path where you could get the most speclacular views and dangle your legs off the edge (look at my pictures). On completing the track with my new black trainers now brown with mud we stopped off in a sheltered hut where we ate lunch and our tour guide told us a story through his digereedoo and blowed a few songs before trying to teach some people how to play and hit their 'D' spot. After this we took the mini bus to a slightly different part of the mountains where we walked 1000 steps down through the trees, past a witches head in the rocks and a waterfall to the bottom of the steepest train in the world. We took this to back to the top and then briefly stopped at the most panoramic spot of the area, where a German tourist had been killed and chuck off 2 weeks previously which our guide decided to tell us and then to detail the best ways to hide a body in Sydney! He also explained to us the whole day we had been walking over and by the most deadliest spider in Australia. Im glad he didnt tell us at the start. After a tiring day we headed back to sydney and finished of the most perfect day by watching nemo, arriving back at 5.45.
