The Blue Mountains.

Since I was last here nine years ago my hugely older sister Gillian has turned into my mother, not only does she now look like her but she has developed her mannerisms as well. I stayed with Gill for three days and nights and I had to escape yesterday or I would have been in danger of bursting, I have never been offered so much food but we did have a good catch up and I will see her again before I leave.
The Wiched camper I picked up on Friday has seen better days, 280,00 kilometres on the clock and it has obviously been involved in altercations in the past. I slept in it for the first time last night and it proved remarkably uncomfortable, hopefully I will get used to it
I am now up in the hills west of Sydney in the Blue Mountains and I touched lucky last night, not only claiming the last but one available site in the camp but being stationed next to two friendly Aussies, Adam and Jo, who kept me entertained with their conversation and full of a home made chicken curry, I am going to offer them my Spaghetti Bolognaise tonight.
Today was taken up with a bush walk to see the Three Sisters and a number of waterfalls, believe me after seven miles in this heat I was ready for a cold beer.
