Where Mountains are Blue

Again, I'm blogging from a backpacker's hostel. But this time it's a different one, cos this morning we arrived at the Blue Mountains and we are staying the night. Tomorrow we are going to Jenolan caves to do a cave tour before heading back to the city in the evening.

It is COLD up here in the mountains, and showering was such a torment. The part I hate most was trying to get the right combination of hot and cold water flowing out of the shower while standing there shivering in my birthday suit.

Anyway, with 6 days' worth of clothes and ample supplies of muesli bars and Pocky (Rudy made me bring it) all crammed into a medium haversack, I am truly feeling like a backpacker. And it rocks, yo! Other than some minor travelling hiccups, it's been all good.

Maybe this is how a snail feels. A portable home strapped onto its back, ready, get set, go. But unlike me, it doesn't have to go knocking on backpackers hostels and pay 20 bucks a night to get a bed. Good for it.

Just two photos from today, because I'm lazy. And also because the super strong wind made my hair look crappy in most of the pictures. :p
