Blue Mountains






We decided to do some more vacationing after we dropped Bill off at the airport. So, instead of driving back to Albury, we drove from Sydney to the Blue Mountains. It was beautiful. We spent the night in a windy mountain town (Katoomba) and drove to the Jenolan Caves in the morning. The caves were spectacular! They are the oldest caves in the world, predating even dinosaurs. We took a guided tour of one of the caves, and then we ate lunch in the lodge before hitting the road.

It was a long drive (two days) back to Albury, but now we are back.

The Blue Mountains are lovely but the caves are spectacular! And cold? Did you get a bit claustrophobic going into such deep caves? Wish I could've been there. love, Mom

No we were not claustrophobic because most parts of the cave are wide. Also, it is not cold in the caves. The temperature in the caves is the average (yearly) temp of the outside air. It stays the same comfortable temperature in the caves year round.
