Hi everyone, just to let you know what ive been up to properly since my last journasl entry. I am now in a place called Katoombsa, which is right next to the 'Blue Mountains' region, about two hours inland from Sydney. It is beautiful and we went on a 3 hour hike through the mountains today and took so many photos (oh, incidently, i am hoping to at last put some photos on this site for you to all see soon, am just waiting to find a place that will let me do it!). The last few days have been so call, as we met up with one of Nicky's long-distant relations (who he'd never met) at a place called Newcastle (bit nicer than the one in England ofcourse!), where we stayed at their house for the night and were taken out for a lovely meal by a harbour. the next day we spent on the beach and then last Saturday...wait for it...they took us on their bought for the day!!! so cool, was a really big and expensive one to. we spent the saturday night on the boat in a lovely creek and then they sailed us back down south on the sunday to drop us off at 'Hawksbury Bay', where we left them (with many thankyous) to catch a train back to sydney. we then spent sunday night in a YHA hostel in central sydney and then caught the train up to here in the Blue Mountains. Tommorow we return to Sydney for two nights and then are planning to catch the next oz experience bus up to Byron Bay. OK so thats my update done, hope i haven't bored you too much. miising you all loads, love chris xxxxx
