I have had a couple of good weeeks of late. John had some time off work and we went to the Blue Mountains for two days. Stayed in Blackheath at a small but oh-so-friendly motel. We did day trips and went for a nice hike on the second day to Pulpit Rock lookout. I had Josh in a sling and maneuvered quite well if I may say so down slippery slopes and across creeks. Not as bad as it sounds but exciting enough. "Don't tell mum!" John said..
On the Monday we went to Sydney and met up with our dear friend Annie and the next day we went to the Sydney Aquarium which Josh absolutely loved!!
On Thursday we left Josh with his nana and went to Barrington Tops to do the Corker for the third time. 2.5 hours of uphill hiking before we reached our camp. How nice is that place!! It is a choice spot and I love going there. Unfortunately we arrived to Wombat Creek after dark this time and because all the wood we found was super wet we couldn't start a fire. John was cussing and cursing "I can't believe I forgot the f###ing paper, f###ing this and that" etc etc. I told him to calm down and that we could just go to bed (it was freeeeezing so I was longing for the warmth of my sleeping bag..) he was adamant though and even sacrifized his "Where Eagles Dare" by Alistair Maclean. I couldn't understand his frustration.. until later when it became clear and even the cussing was endearing! That night was a cold one and we awoke to frost but another BEAUTIFUL, sunny day. The hike down was great as well and it was a fantastic outing!!
