YArrived in Katoomba (Blue Mountains) on Saturday and the scenery here is amazing - as you will see from the pictures below. But first some observations....
Interesting People
On the train up here had a foghorn leghorn (aka loud talker). Six calls to various people advising of her travel plans, including arranging for her mother to pick her up because she didn't have any money. She clearly has a complicated life.
On the train to a walk yesterday saw what is not unheard of on public transport - the application of mascara and lipstick. But this one stepped it up a bit by also spraying on deodorant.
Accommodation
The hotel I am staying at is an older style one - which is nice, it has a lounge room and the room I am in feels like a room in a house. But it has its idiosyncrasies. Apart from the half baked repairs around the place, for instance they moved the door handle on my door and patched up the hole but didn't paint over it, there's the musical entertainment at breakfast. Admittedly it doesn't happ',en every day but last Sunday I was having breakfast at 8 when some musicians started setting up - thought nothing of it, I assumed they were getting in early. Then they started playing instrumentals, then a woman sat on a stool in front of them and started singing what I assume was a jazz number. What do you do, look at them, eat breakfast, applaud? Awkward - particularly when my table was just a metre away. Then we had a choir practising on another night. It is definitely a candidate for the Hotel Inspector.
Anyway, here are some pictures from the Prince Henry Cliff Walk...
