The Blue Mountains

We woke to a wonderful breakfast in our room- served by Marian and Trevor. We had hoped to go on a bushwalk with a local naturalist---but the storm clouds let go just as the car was coming to pick us up. While we really wanted to see more of the rainforest, the idea of a 2 hour walk in pouring rain didn’t seem too appealing. Now, we had to find something to do inside. We opted to visit the IMAX theater for their showing of “The Edge” – an IMAX film shot in the Blue Mountains- with waterfalls, underground caves, and some very annoying Gen “Y” explorers.

After the movie, the weather was still iffy so we set off in search of a “view”. With the spectacular beauty of the Blue Mountains, you would think that there would be 100’s of restaurants with a view. Not so. We finally found an old hotel, the Hydro Majestic that offered us a pub with a view.

For dinner, we decided to pick up some wine and cheese and settle into our beautiful room and watch DVD’s.
