Wed 23rd April, If your going to take so many bloody pictures you could at least not have a really irritating flash noise on your camera

Ok I've got quite an exciting day to tell you all about! I had to get up at 5 this morning so that me and Ev could go to the blue mountains. After going to bed quite late, I felt like I had died when my alarm went off, but I dragged myself out of my bunk and woke everyone else in my room up(I was staying in a dorm in a youth hostel) After a slight run-in with a very mad cleaner with a mop in the kitchen we set off. We first had to catch a bus to Bondi Junction and then a train to Sydney Central and from there a train to Katoomba in the Blue mountains. So a few buses and trains later we we're in the blue mountains for 8.30 (way too early we didn't need to be there till 9.45) So we went to the blue mountains youth hostel and asked the nice lady behind the desk if we could check in early, she let us so we dropped our bags off in our room scoffed a bit and then got on our bus to Jenolan caves. There is quite a few caves up in the blue mountains but we went to the Lucas Cave and the Orient Cave. Both were huge and had several parts too them. The Lucas cave had a huge room which they called the cathedral because the limestone had formed a pulpit and a few other cathedral like features. I was a proper tourist took lots of pictures and will show you all when I get back. After we had looked in both caves which did take a long time (they were very dark too but I guess you'd expect that from a cave) we got back on our bus and came home (well to the youth hostel). And OMG there was this really irritating bunch of tourists who had cameras which made stupid noises everytime they took a picture, I could have throttled them or at least thrown their camera into the deepest darkest hole in the cave! Anyway thats it for today, tommorow we're off to see the 3 sisters (rock fingy) and possibly some horse riding.
