Three Sisters, a Sweed and two Americans are walking through the mountians

So me my new Swedish friend Yasper, and my American friend Matt decide to take a trip up to the blue mountains, and Katoomba the grand canyon of Australia and considered one of the top spots in all of Australia to visit. I was still waiting to hear about work and thought a few days of hiking would be sweetness. We roll in to Katoomba and find the funkiest of all little hostels called the Flying Fox. It only had about 35 beds, but it felt like Vermont, The living room was attired with a fireplace big confy hippy couches, and cushions, Tapestries, there was also guitars and didgeridoos sitting around for folks to play. We fell in love with the place on the spot and spent most evenings drinking wine and playing cards with the various internationals and the boat load of Germans that were living and working there. Day one lent itself to me and Yasper, a funny Sweed with an Irish accent hiking down through the Australian grand canyon in Katoomba by the famed three sister rock formations. The beauty of the place was amazing, and every turn lent itself to an entire different form of terrain, one turn rainforest the next rock desert, the next mountiany cliffs, we spent the whole time our gawking at the fricken beauty and by the end of the day we had hiked around 18 km's.

Day two brought us our new german friends Christian and Johanna and there new car Suzy. we all piled into Suzy and found Hanging rock, which is on the cover of Lonely Plant, holy crap is that black crazy, its a jutting rock hanging over nothing, and you have to jump a crack to get to it but oh man is it amazing! After our bonding session I kicked it to see a funk band with a rag tag international crew of An English girl, Canadian guy, Three Japanese, eight Germans a guy from Israel and a handful of Aussi's wow. We danced our pants off and when i got back to the hostel
Yasper, Matt, Christian and Johanna decided they were going to drive Suzy across the whole country. I quite poor, hung over and a tad jealous of there soon to be adventure went back to Sydney for a job interview and said goodbye to my new friends, but no worries they will show up again.


Overall Blue Mountains = Rock my fricken socks off, if you don't go your a silly nanny
