Started for the trip immediately after breakfast. The Blue Mountains is about 1.5 hours drive and the route is quite scenic and pleasant.
At first, we went to the Katoomba Waterfall Reserve and lazied around the piknik area for some time. After that we left for a short trek to view the waterfall from the top.
My hubby and bil left for a bigger trek down to the waterfall and we (me, my sis and daughter) headed back to the piknik area. We played in the playground, then with the disk and then chit chatting.
After about an hour they came back from their trek. From the pictures they shared, it looked like an amazing trek and wonderful place.
It had past the lunch time and all of us were hungry. We parceled some food from the katoomba city centre and came back to another piknik area to enjoy our lunch. The place was really cool and pleasant. Sometimes living in the hustles of the city , we long for such peace. Being with the nature frees you from all stress and relaxes your mind and body.
After the food, Charvi had some dancing sessions and we all were trying to learn dance steps from her. Was really fun though.
Next destination - the very popular "Three Sisters" point.
After taking 2-3 rounds around the three sisters view point, finally we managed to get an awesome parking spot. The three sisters is actually three mountains standing next to each other. This place is usually very crowded. But to my surprise, this time it was less crowded. There is a pedestrian bridge to reach the first sister. This is someting i had never saw in our previous
After spending some time there, we left Katoomba and headed for our next destination - Wentworth Falls Lake Reserve. This was on the way back home.
The area around the Wentworth Falls Lake is developed very well with playgrounds, piknik areas, barbecues, etc. We reached there late in the evening. It was quite cool and nice and there were just handful of people. We all enjoyed feeding and watching the birds.
We took a short walk to the other side of the lake walking by the dam.
All good things come to an end and so are the vacation and trips. It was time to head back home.
