Day off.

 

 

 

 

So today I finally got a day off, a nice break from plans, I got to have a nice sleep in then help my mum with a few errands. Due to my day off I had no need to go anything all snazzy, so, I cruised through my photo's and came across photo's from my trip to Katoomba last year with my friends, so, I decided I would share my little holiday :)

Last year my friend Ben invited us to go to Katoomba for the weekend of my best friend Ashton's 19th birthday. We went to the blue mountains to go abseiling. It was one of the best weekends I've had, it was good to get away with friends with no work or uni and just glide down the walls of the blue mountains.

I remember our leaders told us a story of how the blue mountains had formed whilst we ate lunch, it was a lovely story using food metaphors to explain it. He spoke about meatloaf and lasagne rising out of the ground and eroding over the years.

The air is so fresh in the mountains, and I so numerous photo's which turned out lovely. I loooooove the photo I got of my friend Tasman as he was abseiling down the Devils Hole, as shown in the 7th photo. The 10th photo doesn't do the view justice of how amazing the blue mountains look from the lookout. The next morning we went and saw the three sister's, and it's the same deal, the view was amazing( the three sister's are shown in the 12th photo). I could've stood there for days.

It really was an adventure, we had to climb in narrow gaps between mountains with 20-30 metre drops below us (shown in the 4th photo). It was an exhilarating feeling.

After a long climb down the mountain it was the intense 1.5 hour hike back up the mountain, we hiked past the burnt down trees from a bushfire that had occurred a while ago. It was actually a really pretty sight (see photo 8).

It was the best feeling to finally reach the top again after a very long time. It was exhausting but it was very worth it. I would love to go back. We had planned to go back and do the canyoning course through the waterfalls which would be amazing so hopefully I eventually make my way back there.

Well, I hope you all had a lovely Wednesday and yourselves have had lovely little weekend trips here and there!
