We had a lovely cosy night sleep and woke up quite early! We got ready and set off to explore again! It was wet again but quite fresh! We walked down to Darling harbour via Hyde park again! It was already getting busy in the shops as all the crazy people raided the sales! Darling harbour was lovely and there was lots going on and we saw the replica of Captain Cooks ship outside the maritime museum! We enjoyed walking around and watching the monorail fly past! On...

Christmas day!! Needless to say, we weren't up early!! Feeling rough and hungover we stayed in bed till lunchtime! We were going to go to the beach but it was forecast rain so we stayed at the hostel as they were putting on an xmas party with dinner! We exchanged presents of Mint choc Tim Tams and caramel choc! We finally made ourselves presentable and made an appearance downstairs! There were about 60-70 people and a few of the lads who work at the hostel cook...

We walked around to the Opera house and had took the compulsory pictures! We went inside and its not as posh as you would exp...

However, after consulting the tourist information we decided against this idea because of traffic, road closures and xmas shoppers! Instead...

We had a rather cold night sleep and woke up to a windy day! We set off early and went to find Cahill's lookout. We were the only ones around as we walked down to the lookout. It was a lovely view across the valley and was a very crisp morning. After admiring the views we went to the Jenolan caves which are further out than the blue mountains. The drive took longer than we had expected and the road to it was quite narrow in places and on the edge of a cliff! Tha...
