The Blue Mountains and the Sydney Aquarium

Sunday morning early we looked out the hotel window to gray skies and more than a hint of rain.We took off for the train to meet the others there.Jack and May coming in from Waitara and Ruth and Luke fron Wahronga with Lillian; also John and Molly Cook.It was a two hour trip to Katoomba with croissants and hot cross buns en route ( from the bakery ) as well as hot coffee from the station. The Sun shone and we arrived in Katoomba............... more coffee ( pumpkin soup for Jack and I ). A bus took us to the Point where we were able to see the whole vista of the montains and a good view of the Three Sisters. On to Leura and The Candy Shop with the largest most extensive array of old fashioned candies, and only a short time to make our selections before returning to the train for the ride home.

In the evening we went down to the Harbour to see the lighted Operta House and had real Italian pizza and a Fosters and etc.
