Easter in Sydney - V 1.0

Our purpose for the day was to visit Blue Mountains. In order to get there we had to take a train till this place called Karoomba Station and then go and explore in the Explorer bus. Its kinda costly but worth every cent ! Blue Mountains is very much a tourist destination and since the hols have just started here, the rush was obvious. So here goes the description !

The World is small indeed. I was told by Nithyanand that Kiran who accompanied us to Bondi Beach was leaving today and another person by the name Praveen was going to join us. So when the 2 of them boarded the train at North Sydney , I saw this guy and viola ! He stays like 2 mins from where I stay in Bangalore and moreover , we have played cricket together ! But since it had been a while, I had not met him and had no idea that he would be in Sydney ! Nice surprise anyways !

The train journey was for around 2 hours and we landed up there at the Karoomba station at around 10.45am . My two companions though were totally shivering as it was raining and since this place was well above the sea level , it was realllllllllly cold out there !! Much more colder than Sydney ! They bought cool Aussie jerseys . Story to do with this coming up later :-).
As we reached Karoomba station , we were all very hungry and tried our hand at some Veg sandwiches and I can safely say it was the worst sandwich I had ever tasted in my life . Thankfully soon enough there was this place called Chocolate which offers various dishes made out of chocolates (Sorry pics are not put up here . We were too busy filling our stomachs !!) and some pastries and ice cream at this place set us up for the remaining of our journey.

The Explorer carried us through and the concept being that it would drop us of at whichever place we wanted( We had to refer to a map to see where we wanted to get off ) and then there were other regular buses coming in every 30 mins or so to get us in and to the next station.

We reached this stunning place called Skyway Eastern Anchorage and learnt that this was a good place to go around and trek too . First of several wonderful pics coming up.
The next pic was taken at the Skyway. The fog there was really dense and the place was hardly visible initially and as the sky cleared the whole place began to look more splendid ! By the minute. The Blue mountains as the backdrop,except for sometime did not appear blue coz' of the clouds and the fog but absolutely no regrets as it offered us some of the best views I have had in my entire life !!!!
This was the gorgeous deep ravine sort of thing that totally blew our minds ! FANTASTIC !
But the truth was we felt that it was God's own coutry !!!
more coming up....
