I know I had said the blog posts probably wouldn't be daily but enough happened today to warrant its own post.
This morning I bought my car. A simple little car, my one complaint is that they put the steering wheel on the wrong side of the car. Got out of the city as directly as possible and stopped at a town called Katoomba which is inside the Blue Mountains National Park. Quite touristy but still very beautiful. They are called the blue mountains because of the bluish haze which is created in part from all the oil in the eucalyptus trees, like a giant diffuser, no one should get a cold here! Speaking of cold... its really hot here, around 80 degrees all day today, fairly humid and not a lot of wind. The sun is also very strong. I've got quite the odd tan going so far, my right arm and side of my neck is completely burned from driving today and everything else is still white, haha.  I was told Sydney never gets snow, sometimes there will be a light dusting at the tops of these mountains but it all melts by noon. If you want snow you have to go down south to the Snowy Mountains.
Staying in another hostel but this one is way nicer than the one I stayed at in Sydney. I'm booked into a 6 person dorm but so far my only roommate is a really fun 60 year old lady. Bonus, the lights all work and the showers don't have mildew with bugs crawling out the drain!

 These are the "Three Sisters" Not sure if there is a story behind them but this was a big time tourist spot

 Ah! Selfie! Taken at the Honeymoon Point haha, Solo Por Siempre!

 Don't worry, Mom, I only fell once...

 The blueness didn't come up very well in the picture, its a deeper blue in real life!

 I wish I could somehow bottle up the smell here and post it on the blog. There's a definite fern smell  and eucalyptus and lots of other Australian plants that I don't know the names of. It smelled pretty good!

This is a stream bed but there was only a slight trickle going down. Australia is going into autumn and have been in a drought around here.

Ain't she a beauty
