the Blue Mountains aren't actually blue!

They only give off the blue tint due to the eucalyptus on the gum trees!

On Friday, August 24th, Hollie, Ashley and I went on a day trip to the Blue Mountains. Little did we know that our tour guide from Hunter Valley would be our tour guide for the Blue Mountains! It was a glorious reunion to be had :) His name is Adam and he's pretty amazing!


We walked by waterfalls, lost our breath walking along the edge, went down steeeeep stairs down into the mountains, and took the sky glider back to the top!

We had lunch in a separate part of the mountains, except it was SUPER cold. We made the best of it, and took pictures of the view!

I wish I could upload all my pictures, but there's so many of them. Also, pictures just don't do it justice! So I'll upload a few for you to enjoy :)

3 Sisters! and Baby Bambino?


That following Tuesday, Hollie and I did the Coogee to Bondi coastal walk. The walk was about 7 miles there and back, and we were exhausted! I ended up doing the walk home barefoot, just for fun. We climbed over rocks, sat on the edge, drew in the sand and had good smoothies once we got to Bondi. All in all it was a great afternoon with good company :) We also saw a guy playing soccer with his dog. SO COOL! 


A small update on the sickness front: I ended up getting worse after being on meds for a chest infection. I developed a small case of asthma and was put on an inhaler. I also have an allergy to dust mites and mold, so I am now on a daily nose spray. I was also put on meds to help clear out my lungs because they were sounding wheezy and full of junk. I know, fantastic right?! I am feeling A TON better now and only use my inhaler when I am short of breath or start wheezing. I cough every so often and no longer sneeze 24/7! Major improvement and am so happy to be feeling better! I am also on an allergy pill, but hey I always have to take allergy pills in the Spring/Summer!

Missing everyone from home, but definitely enjoying my time here! <3
