We get cold in the Blue Mountains
On Saturday we went to stay in the Blue Mountains for a few days while Mike and Donna were still here and now Pam and Paul have arrived. We hired a car so we could get all six of us up there.
The first day we had a quick look at the Three Sisters in case the mists came in. We'd all taken our hats and although it was a little cooler than Sydney it was still about 30 degrees so we needed them for solar protection. We had a very nice dinner in the guest house in the evening - as it was still warm we sat outside.
On Sunday we had a bit of a shock; the temperature had dropped to under 10 degrees! I think this was colder than when we first stayed in the mountains in Winter. We went on a walk, had a bit of a rest and then had dinner inside.
We go on a walk
On Monday it was even colder; I think it got down to 6 degrees. Sean, Mike and Paul braved it outside for a run up and down the mountains, although I think only Mike was hard enough to enjoy it. We were adventurous in the evening and tried a new restaurant in town. It was recommended by Mel and Glenn the guesthouse owners and they took a night off and came out with us.
We came back on Tuesday via the Norman Lindsay Gallery. Norman Lindsay wrote a famous Australian Children's book called the Magic Pudding (I got a copy for Christmas), however it appears he spent more time painting naked ladies. So not quite one for the kids.
Bunyip Bluegum the Koala and the (grumpy) Magic Pudding
In other news: Sean has had a new friend to play Guitar Hero with, although Mike and Donna have now left us so Sean is back to being a band of one.
Mike and Sean rock out
