The Lovely Blue Mountains

Mary and Sharyn live in the most beautiful place. The only other time I've been to the Blue Mountains was a quick day trip to check out the main tourist spots. This trip we took a more leisurly pace.

I checked out the shops and did my bit for the local economy.


And we took in the scenery from a different vantage point this time.

There is still SO much to see and do so were are definitely planning more weekends up there to explore.

Fairlie, S, Domestic Goddess & others - I think we need to plan a girls weekend, hit the day spas, the shops and catch up with the Blue Mountains bloggers...

Now you're talking

And we'd come to Sydney for a Powerhouse viewing of the Diana show before you came up!

I've been meaning to check out the Diana exhibition. I can't believe Fairlie hasn't made a special trip up here...

Sharyn said...

Glad you enjoyed yourself!

Day spas, shopping, lunch, wine . . . you could definitely count me in!!

Sounds like it was a wonderful way to spend the big 40! Hope you had a great day on Saturday and are enjoying your new found maturity having entered the 40-44 age group!

It sounds as if you had a deservedly wonderful weekend. Can't wait to hear all about it.

The Diana exhibition would be interesting. Oh that just gave me a big emotional tug (not tears!) realising all of the things I would love to do in Sydney before we go and I'm running out of time.

That is lovely! Sounds as if you had a great time! Definitely you will have to do a meet up with the Blue Mountains bloggers. Sigh, so jealous of that!

You can't leave Leura without a visit to the Gourmet Deli (I'm sure that's the one with the great view out the back - I had the best homestyle lasagne I've ever eaten there!) and Megalong Books.

Did I hear something about day spas, girl's dinners and Diana exhibitions.... and Blue Mountains Bloggers (they have their own tag now!)?

Nutmeg - we had lunch at the Gourmet Deli. Firegazer and Padawan Learner both had the Lasagne and loved it.
