The beautiful Blue Mountains

It is quite incredible that the Blue Mountains, a peaceful, quiet and stunning mountain range, are to be found just a short 2-hour train ride away from busy Sydney.

I spent three days hiking up to 6 hours a day and I absolutely loved it! The best thing to do is to get off the shorter, typical trails that most tourists take and head down into the valleys - bring lunch and snacks, and you will have a wonderful day with the forest, waterfalls and views mostly to yourself.

Thanks for the motivation

One of the more challenging trails

At the bottom of the Wentworth falls

I met Jasmijn in Yamba, she was only in the mountains on a day trip, so we met up and did a hike to the Wentworth falls

To my mother's horror I got a nose piercing. I, however, love it.
