Discovering the Blue Mountains ⛰️

Just 50km from Sydney are the Blue mountains, a mountain range, which is part of the Great Dividing Range. ⛰️
Together with Stephan (the swiss traveller) I took the train early in the morning and arrived about 2h later in Katoomba, the main village of the Blue mountains. 🚂
The name comes from the blue haze of the mountains, which is caused by the emission of terpenoids of eucalytus trees. 🔷️🌳
We were really lucky with the weather and had bright sunshine all day long, which is quiet unusual for the region, as it often gets foggy morning (just like it did the day after). 🌫
But we enjoyed stunning views and did some nice walks and minor hikes 😊
Stephan went back to Sydney in the evening while I stayed in Katoomba for the night - happy to escape my crappy hostel in town for a bit 😅
