Blue Mountains National Park

On Sunday we took the train to Katoomba which belongs to the Blue Mountains National Park.
The trip took about 2h bei train from Sydney and we arrived at around 11am.
We had already purchased a hop on/ hop off ticket for the explorer bus and so we just quickly went to pick them up before we jumped on and went to our first stop. It was a lookout that was supposed to give you great views of the "Three Sisters" which are famous rock formations but it turned out to be so foggy that you couldn't even see anything from the lookout except a white wall of fog.
Well it wasn't the best start to our trip but we still wanted to make the best of it and took the Skyrail over the valley to the other side. I was actually a bit glad for the fog because it was the highest cableway in Australia and I'm not to fond of heights but we couldn't see the ground anyway.
We got our on the other side where the fog had already cleared a bit and went straight to the next cableway that would take us right to the bottom where we would to a small rainforest walk. 💕
That cableway was seriously scary because it was quite a steep way down but I managed and we did get some good views through the fog.
We followed the broad walk that lead us to an old coal mine and some information about mining in that area and eventually we reached the railway.
It is one of the steepest railways in the world as it goes straight up the cliffs and even through them at some stage.
We managed to get the best spot at the back because the train was going backwards up the cliffs which meant we had the best view. Steep doesn't even come close to describing what this railway was. It was like being on a roller coaster and at some point I swear we were nearly going 90 degrees straight up the wall. It was a bit scary but definitely also heaps of fun. 💕
Most of the fog had lifted when we reached the top and jumped back onto the bus.
Hot chocolate was seriously the best wa to warm up and have a short break from walking and all the excitement. We stopped at a chocolate cafe where you got to make your own hot chocolate with hot milk and little bits of milk chocolate. 💕
Warm and happy we continued to the next lookout from which we walked back along the cliffs. We finally got to take pictures of the "Three Sisters" without the fog and we even touched one of them. 💕
We had a great day in the Blue Mountains which are beautiful with or without fog. 💕Read more
