Trips

It's hard to believe that I have only been here 2 weeks. I feel as though events from the beginning of the trip happened ages ago. My first week of classes were a breeze. The teachers only went over the syllabus for the course. On friday most of the other American students don't have class so we decided to go to Manly Beach. A group of about 20 of us all made our way down and had a great time (even though the weather is still a little bit cool). I was able to take some great photos while I was there.

There were no plans for the weekend and none of us had much school work we decided to take a 2 hour bus ride to the Blue Mountains. They are called the Blue Mountains because of the acidic haze given off by the trees that cover all of the landscape. We were able to get a group of 12 mostly American students to go. When we arrived at Katoomba station we found a hostel and checked in before we went hiking. The room we rented in the hostel had 12 spaces exactly! Everything worked out perfect on this trip. No missed trains or busses or people. We couldn't have had a better time if we had a tour guide. It was perfect the way it was. We hiked from the tops of cliffs to the bottom of waterfalls snapping pictures the entire way. I took some great waterfall shots that I was really anxious to post. We also went to see the 3 Sisters. It was a great look out point and a great place to buy some ice cream and sit on the dining porch and take in the scenery.

*I made sure to take a roommate picture as well.

Hope all is well at home. Cheers!
