Well here we are in the Blue mountains. As you can see from the pic it is very spectacular. Ron decided that we should have the walk today as yesterday was spent travelling, so we set off to katoomba to check out the art deco buildings and then onto the Valley of the waters.

Now we had a choice of several walks: the 1 klm loop rated easy - Oh no says Ron, the Falls walk 3 klm and rated moderate - OH NO says Ron, the 4 klm overcliff walk rated moderate to hard - OOOOOOOH NO says Ron, the 6klm overcliff with return along the mid cliff rated hard to very hard - OOOOOOOH YES says Ron. Well it was absolutely breath takingly beautiful. We walked through waterfalls, around waterfalls, under waterfalls and over waterfalls. The scenery is amongst the best I have ever seen and that includes the other Grand Canyon. But after four hours of playing "mountain Goat" we were both knackered and could not have walked another step unless it was to a cold beer. All in all a great day.
