    And one last shot! Views[284] Here are the falls themselves!!! So pretty! Views[282] One last pictures of the sistas! I've permanently renamed them Anna, Abby, and Beks in my head! Views[346] I was fortunately there on a day that really captured their blueness! Views[310] Everybody give me a little
     
    This, my friends, is known as the three sisters...and I have fallen in love them! Views[310] I took all these shots on a quick skyway tour...short but oh so sweet! Views[231] Ohhh, the Blue Mountains...aren't they just beautiful!!! Views[293] Okay...not the best picture! But I was so excited about the Belgium Waffle Shop where I got myself a waffle with ice cream! What a grand idea...a waffle shop! Views[214] This is one of many adorable antique shops around town!!! I found a book here that I had been scouring Amazon.com for...much better to get it at an antique shop in the Blue Moutains....in AUSTRALIA!!! Views[305]
     
    This picture is more for me than anything else...just so I can remember where to come back too:) Views[272] This little cafe has good mochas and good food - but note to self: next time order it Circular Quay Train Station - I will frequent this place - for the trains, for the ferries, for the ice cream Views[699] Here's a view of the bridge and opera houe coming from the other directions...seriously, you need to see it from all angles. Views[330] Pretty pretty flowers! Views[1202]
     
    This picture is in the botanical gardens and really needs to some sound effects to be completely appreciated...but still, its nice right? Views[213] hey look, the bridge again:):):) Somebody come visit me, seriously - it's too fantastic here not to enjoy together. Views[238] Oh the old buildings, or at least faux old buildings...still it's fun! Views[363] My second day I walked to the Rocks instead of taking the train, so I could walk down George Street - the main road in the city. Views[204] Oh, and look - its the queen!!! She has so many crowns! Views[233]
     
    Here's another one of those random places you walk into - the Queen Victoria Building...I'm totally coming back here, getting a coffee, and pretending to be rich - because I'm pretty sure thats what everyone else is doing. Maybe I'll browse around Dolce and Gabbana and Crabtree and Evelyn too - just to add to the effect. Views[196] And this is my room! Views[204] This is the view from my room! Views[234] Here is Sydney Central Youth Hostel - my lodging for the night! Views[429] Look at all the people - and all of them from all different places!!! It's a blast! Views[249]
     
    Walking around the opera house! Views[255] The bridge again - unfortunately I couldn't totally the enjoy the ride over it due to a bit of anxiety about bridges randomly falling down - but still, it's so cool! Views[255] Views[247] Everybody say a quick prayer of thanks that they were not the guy next to me when I was eating this...i think I sprayed a couple streams of butter and a few kernels his way. Views[252] When I saw this sign a small voice inside my head went
     
    Mom - this is what the churches in Sydney look like. And also I woke up this morning to endless bell ringing from one of them...so I get the point - I'm finding a church:):):) Views[250] The great thing about this city is that you'll just be walking and then all the sudden you are here! Views[244] This the view of the opera house from the Rocks side of the Circular Quay. Views[349] This is the Rocks Market - the Rocks is this area that's all historic and touristy and my favorite place on this continent so far. Views[312] This is the view of the bridge from the train station...so amazing...and look at the one lonely cloud in the sky - a beautiful day! Views[320]
     
    The journey up the hill to the lighthouse Views[377] Oh the girls! Views[324] Hamish had tonsilitis the first few days I've been here - now Roary has it. It makes for a couple of very unhappy and sleepy boys. Views[334] Ellie and I have bonded the first couple of days - 2nd children stick together:):):) Views[319] Ellie and Hamish were our fearless leaders - here we made it to the top Views[393]
     
    They also managed to find some jelly looking globs on the coast which charlie is convinced she will sell. I'm sure she'd send them to you if your interested! Views[247] Charlie, Ellie, and Hamish find places to hide...and find ticks (Ellie!) on the way back down. Views[269] another view from the top Views[275] The view from the top - with Palm Beach on the left and Pittwater on the right Views[295] And the walk back down! Views[314]
