Blue Mountains

The group I went to the Blue Mountains with- Charlie, Adriana, Betsy, and Drew. We had a blast!!!!



The SkyRide that took us between the mountains, the view was incredible!



The "3 Sisters" is one of the most famous tourist attractions in the Blue Mountains, it is based off an Aboriginal story.


Leura Cascades-probably one of my favorite places in the Blue Mountains


Heaps of Barbies...yes this needs an explanation-so Bets and I went to this old toy museum/mansion. We were quite skeptical going there, we weren't sure how many toys there would be. The mansion was FULL of toys from as far back as 1912! Like heaps and heaps of toys, every single room was filled with antique toys, it was so fun to see them all. We kept on saying how much our parents and grandparents would love it even more than we did. It was really cool to see, especially the Barbies (earliest ones were 1940s) and the old train sets. We had a blast there, it was one of those places were you could look around in there for hours and still not see everything! Aw it was so neat.....

As for the Blue Mountains-I was in awe as to how amazing they were. So pretty! The best part is they were only a short (5 hours) train ride away, and it was pretty cheap to get there. We had a blast walking around the small town and seeing all the sites. Hopefully we will make it back there again to do some more hiking if we have time. As for everything else-the pictures do not do justice as to how amazing they are! Heaps gorgeous!
