Went to the Blue Mountains with Ida and Letrica over the weekend.

Considering Ida was stopping by Sydney on her trip around the world, what better way to show her the beauty of New South Wales than a trip to the Blue Mountains.

Caught the sunset at the Three Sisters which was gorgeous and inspired us to plan to return the next morning to catch the sunrise.

So bright and early Sunday morning, we rose at 5am (yes, even *I* woke up at that unearthly hour) to witness a spectacular sunrise view of the Blue Mountains....only to arrive there and find the entire area shrouded in fog.

We couldn't even see 10 metres in front of us, what more a sunrise that would take our breaths away.

Despite the disappointment, the rest of the day was beautiful. Saw the Leura Cascades (pictured) and the Gordan Falls, which were both breathtaking.

Hiked up and down the area, working off our extremely unhealthy breakfast of Nutella and croissants.

Went to various lookout points to experience the majestic-ness of the Blue Mountains.

Contemplated jumping into the embrace of the forests down below, only to remember that gravity exists and the tree tops aren't as soft and fluffy as they appear to be...
