Our weekend away

Back home now after a weekend of fun camping and climbing in the Blue Mountains. I took soo many photos so instead of just telling you about our trip, I will illustrate with lots of photos! So here we go.


We set up camp in Perrys Lookdown near Balckheath. And for those of you who thought I was talking about serious hiking and climbing might me disappointed now. Because as you can see we're talking luxury camping here - palaces, queen size beds and down doonas. Our tent was the biggest one with two bedrooms - or a balcony as Brett likes to call the second bedroom.


One of our little camping traditions is to buy a kinder surprise for each person in the group. This time PB, ML and I were ecstatic when we found a massive kinder egg for all of us to share. The boys weren't too happy about our idea and did everything in their power to stop us from buying it. But as you can see we won. I guess $15 is quite expensive for some cheap chocolate tho..


  The boys went climbing on Saturday afternoon but PB, ML and I were too tired/lazy to join them so we spent the afternoon laughing, eating hot cross buns and...

...entertaining ourself in other ways! (We hadn't even cracked open the wine at this stage).

When the boys got back we had fajitas, drinks and played cards all night.




This morning we went climbing at Mt York! Except for ML who had a cold and fell asleep on a rock in the sun.
We had lunch at the Imperial hotel in Blackheath. And we actually had a lot more fun than this picture shows, even though we were pretty tired. The most entertaining part of the lunch was when PB asked the the bogan barmaid what was in the vegetable pasta and got the response "No darl, it's just pasta. And vegetables". PB ordered roast pork. The Imperial hotel sure know how to make people excited about their food! But at least it gave us something to laugh about.


Then we went home. But we're already scheming a new trip...
