Drake was great on the flight from Brisbane to Sydney flight. He was really getting use to flying, but I spoke too soon since he freaked out in the car and putting him to bed was a bit of nightmare. Even the most mellow baby have bad days. All the beach combing must've really tired him out.
Day 1 in Sydney, we were in a car again headed for Blue Mountain and its most famous rock formation, the Three Sisters. We hit a bit of traffic so by the time we got there, it was lunch time. We had lunch at Paragon Cafe in Katoomba.
Paragon was a throw back to the 30's and served the most mouth watering warm scones with butter cream and jam. Writing this last bit is making my mouth water.
Three Sisters was another 5 minute drive away from Katooma. The aboriginal people had different versions of the folktales of these rock formations. Much like the 12 Apostles, there was a viewing point we could drive up to. It provided a panorama view of the rock formation and valley.
We also hiked a short trail (it looked really far from the view point) right up to the Three Sisters. The little wooden bridge that connect to the Three Sisters was really scary for me to cross. I wouldn't dare to look down the steep drop. There were quite a few interesting trails that would've kept us occupied for days.
We fought the traffic going back to Sydney and had a late dinner at Moo Gourmet Burger at Bondi Beach.
Day 2 in Sydney, we finally made it to one of the most iconic sights in Australia. The Opera House and the Harbour Bridge (they were closer to each other than I thought) are both located in the bustling Circular Quay. There were many tourists just like us strolling around the waterfront and taking pictures, having a beverage at one of the many patio cafes, listening to dijurido music and loving the sunshine.
I wasn't expecting to see them, but we could see very clear the groups and groups of people climbing the Harbour Bridge. Because we had Drake with us, we didn't consider doing this 3.5 hour climb.
