4/5 - Blue Mountains
For breakfast, we tried the buffet in the hotel and were rewarded with our
best breakfast yet. This and another bright sunny day had us in good spirits
for our excursion to the Blue Mountains west of Sydney. The bus ride out took
several hours through the Sydney suburbs before reaching the foothills and
their forests. Here we stopped for an upclose and personal look at some wild
kangaroos along with a family of ducks.
Another stop had us at an overlook together with some interesting, rocks
eroded by the wind.
We were served a great lunch at the Hydro Majestic Spa, complete
with its panoramic views of the mountains.
The highlight of the trip back was a stop at the Featherdale Wildlife Park,
with its baby wallaby, kaolas, kangaroos and lots of other interesting animals.
Back in Sydney for dinner, we had a good pizza at Zia
Pina in The Rocks.
