12-2-2017

Weather: High of 78 degrees with high chance of rain for most of the day.

Breakfast = fresh fruit + yogurt + 1 slice peanut butter toast + water w/ electrolytes because I've been getting some terrible cramps in my right leg behind my knee in the middle of the night when I'm sleeping so hopefully this helps with that problems!
Lunch = sandwich + fruit + water
Supper = chicken + steamed veggies + water + ice cream

     Today Paul, Jeanette, Carol (the girl Jeanette met at the bus stop one day and helped her get to school), and I left for the Blue Mountains around 8:20 on the bus. We then got a train to Central station and left from there around 9:15. We were supposed to arrive around 11:25, but the train was so slow and delayed on the tracks so we didn't arrive until 12:15ish.
     We then had to wait forever to get a bus so we decided to walk, but then Carol wanted to buy a raincoat so we did that. By then we decided we'd wait for the bus but then the drivers got a little break due to it being over lunch. This whole week has been filled with waiting so I don't know what's going on!
     Finally we got a bus, and as we were getting out of the bathroom it started to pour. We waited it out before heading down to the Three Sisters Point. As we were walking back up though, it started to pour again so we got soaked. Carol was glad she had bought her raincoat!
     We then left that spot and headed to scenic world. Here you could pay to go on the cable car, rail car, or do the walk. Well it was raining still and we didn't want to pay for something that gave you basically the same view as just standing on the balcony, so we looked around the shop and headed back into town.
     Once we were back, we got the train to Leura which was the first stop heading back to Sydney. Here they had some cute little shops and candy stores that we looked around in for a little over an hour.
     Then, due to the rain the train wasn't due back for another 20 minutes so back to the shops we went in the pouring rain. This wasn't a nice warm spring rain either, it was a chilly up in the 'mountains'.
     Finally, we got the train and started on our way back.
     We got back to Sydney around 6:30, caught another train, a bus, and then walked the rest of the way home. It had been an interesting day but I'm glad I got to see the Blue Mountains before going home.

*0 Saturdays left!
*2 days of school left!
*5 days until I come home!

 The Blue Mountains. It was quite breathtaking!  
 Part of the Three Sisters Point!

 Carol and me!
