Blue is the colour of water
It's Wednesday. I'll be home in less than a week. I almost feel like yelling yahooooo!, but not quite. I imagine I'll miss this a bit - I might even feel a bit blue...although it'll be nice to get home and rest - sleep in even, maybe.
We are now in the Blue Mountains in a town called Katoomba. It's vaguely reminicent of Banff or Stowe except no skiing. The mountains are actually blue in the distance, due, apparently to the high level of water vapour in the air. The weather has lost it's summery feel, more like fall. It apparently will get better in a few days, but I'll be gone. Despite the weather, the scenery is phenomenal, great cliffs with 150 meter drops over dense forest canopies, sculptured rock surfaces, musical birds - quite magical.
We did spend two days in Canberra. Except for the galleries and museums, exceptionally boring.
Tomorrow we return to Sydney. M&B leave on Friday and I leave on Saturday. I probably won't post again till I get to LA, where I'll spend a few days before I get home Tuesday.
TTFN
