From the Blue Mountains to Tomakin

This was our last day in the Blue Mountains, we never did get back to see the Three Sisters in the late afternoon so our view of this famous landmark was with the sun behind them. The cost for parking was pretty steep too - minimum cost was $4 regardless of whether you were going to stay five minutes up to an hour. The platform area for viewing the Three Sisters is fantastic - large and able to accommodate hundreds of people comfortably - and spotlessly clean. So really the cost for parking is not dear when you consider what else you get for your money.
One thing we were very aware of was the cold wind that swept up from the base of the cliffs. It felt as if it came straight from the south pole! This is why poor Colin looks so unhappy!
We had to be at the Sydney Domestic terminal by 11.10am so we had to leave our accommodation at Faulconbridge reasonably early. We did stop at Penrith briefly for a break and when there spotted this amazing wisteria climbing right up a large tree. Of course, being the driver I was able to stop the car and grab a photo! Isn't it fantastic? Just in case I have another calamity when downloading my pictures, this one was taken with the Samsung! I hope I don't have any more traumas like yesterday with my photo saving!
we picked up Nola and Graham from the airport and headed south as soon as we had loaded their luggage. We were all feeling ready for a feed when we pulled over at a small town on the coast for lunch. What a steep road down! It was amazing! Fed and watered we were ready to get back on the road again. I did not realise how far it was to Tomakin from Sydney and it was five by the time we drove into the "resort". It actually wasn't so much the distance as the speeds that were allowable on the roads. Slow! We were either limited to 80 or 60 and very rarely were allowed to speed up to 100k for maybe up to five kilometres!
I am looking forward to being able to use the camera again tomorrow, so much driving is not what I really enjoy!
