Underactive Tyroid Leg Pain

katooooomba!!

E 'is ... after three months we had to leave our nest ... with a little' of nostalgia but also with the knowledge that this separation means the beginning of the adventure ...
So Monday morning, the guys have moved all the "baggage storage / wine cellar" of the Great Aussie Backpackers and the next morning we returned the keys. Then we found ourselves at the station with Barbara, Dominic and Francis to take the train to Katoomba, for two days in the Blue Mountains ...

Katoomba is exactly what I expected. A sleepy village with one main road, a station, a tourist office, several bars and barettini that close at 5 pm and colorful houses of questionable taste ...
Upon arrival, after a break from Coles x to food supplies, We started running at high speed in search of a path that leads us to see something interesting. After a quarter of an hour (maybe a bit 'more because we were able to take a wrong turn in a country where there are three roads ... =)) we were still eating ... =)
After lunch picnic we can take the path and reach Echo Point ... vantage point from which you can see the whole valley and the famous Three Sisters

... What is not these ...

And even these ...

But these ...

The name derives from an Aboriginal legend ... it seems that the wizard-in-chief tribe 'has turned his three daughters to save them from a rat x rock enemy, but then, since he has not' survived, not 'able to dissolve the spell ...

Between stops photos, various detours and lots of laughs it took us three hours to make a path x x which was scheduled an hour and a half! =)
E 'was a really fantastic day ...



After we enjoyed the sunset at Echo Point, with a beautiful purple sky above the valley, we checked in at the YHA ... But we are sure that it is a hostel? Rooms and bathrooms clean, hyper equipped kitchen, huge common areas ...


wanted something cheap to eat out at 9.30 pm but was almost completely closed and the choice came down between Domino's pizza or buy something from Coles and dinner in the hostel ...
He won the second ... pity that the kitchen of the YHA to close down 10 ...
We prepared first, appetizer and dessert and washed everything in less than half an hour ... that efficiency! At the end we had to eat x winds but we finished everything: oil and tomato bruschetta, 1 kg of pasta sauce with lots of fresh tomatoes and sweet as apple pie and ice cream bowl Coles (three tastes that all three have the same taste! !)...
The next morning we woke up with a fog so dense that rivals that of the Po Valley ... X luck then about noon the sky e 'cleared and we managed to do a last walk and last picture ...


And tomorrow we're leaving ...

HAPPY EASTER TO ALL!
