On our way back to the U.S. we had the opportunity of visiting a friend in Sydney, Australia. We had a great time visiting him and seeing the sights. We saw everything from the Blue Mountains to the Sydney Opera House and the Sydney harbor bridge. I loved it all. For those of you who are interested in the details, I decided to break them up into multiple posts, so this one would not be super long.
Sydney was a lot of fun. Josh (our friend from Sydney) totally wore us out (and himself). We did get to see way more than we ever would have if we would have just gone by ourselves. We were leaving the house around 7:30AM and getting home around 11PM.
Wednesday, Josh and a friend picked us up at the airport Wednesday evening and drove out to the Blue Mountains, where we spent the night. It was really cold. First thing Thursday morning we headed out to tour some caves. The caves had the most amazing mineral formations. Unfortunately the camera just doesn't do them justice. There were thousands of stalagmites and stalactites and then some things that stuck straight out from the side walls. I'm not sure what they were called. Some of the mineral formations hanging from the roof of the cave looked like large pieces of fabric. By the time we finished with the caves, it was early afternoon. After a wrong turn or two, we arrived at a lookout point. It was breath taking. The weather was clear just long enough for us to get a good view and take some pictures. After that everything was pretty fogged in, so we headed back to Sydney.
