Katoomba and day to day life

G'day mates. Hope all is well in your hemisphere. We are experiencing heavy rainfall at the moment with lower temperatures. I love it! Now I can blog to you guys while snuggling up on the couch. Fall is closing in on us here as we enter into March. It's almost unbelievable that we have been here two months. We still have so much to do but we will get it done. We have a plan. This weekend, we went to the Blue Mountains again because the last time it was so rainy. It was spectacular that now when we look off cliffs and look outs, we didn't...

Opera house at night

I like this picture - I thought it turned out pretty well. The pink lights were shining light on the giant cruise ship that was in the harbor ("harboUr"). The Opera House is especially beautiful at nig...

Beach weekend

Hello everybody! I hope all of you are having a good day/night. Our weekend was not quite as eventful as other weekends but still we had a great time. Paul's work has been slamming him lately with late nights and too many Excel spreadsheets. So, we thought we would take it easy and finally visit the beaches because we live on the beach. Friday: Friday I went into the CBD (business district where Paul works) and met up with him. I was sick a little bit during the week so I felt it was necessary for me to get out of the flat and try somewhere...

Royal National Park

So here we are again, another weekend, another adventure. As you all are having your delightful snow showers, we have been having rain. Yup, another rainy weekend for us as we went to the Royal National Park, which is as it sounds. It is a wildlife preserve just outside of Sydney. Our friends Chris and Sarah got us to tag along and we had a really great time. First, as we drove off with our friends, the hubcap to the rental car came off. Luckily, it was a piece of junk that can easily pop back into place. First adventure, check. Once we...

First excursion: Blue Mountains

This weekend, Paul and I were set on leaving Sydney for the weekend since we were tired of the city. It is our first mini vacation since we got here and it was so much fun! The Blue Mountains are approximately two and half hours outside from Sydney and the cool thing is that they are so accessible, you can just take the train to any town you like! Australia really has their public transport down pat and you can get pretty much anywhere you want without a car (except for the inside 'cause few live there). An interesting fact: The Blue Mountains...
