Katoomba

My travels have now taken me to the Blue Mountains west of Sydney where I stayed in the tourist town of Katoomba. The trip there was very difficult because I ran into a fog so thick I could barely see two feet in front of the car. The fog in Katoomba was even worse and I almost ran into parked cars going just two miles an hour until I reached Echo Point, a lookout spot that was supposed to be beautiful but instead covered in a thick fog like everything else. There I met and elderly couple who argued with each other about various odd things like weather. I went to sleep that night expecting the fog to be there in the morning, but to my surprise I awoke to a bright and sunny world that was very different from the one before. I went back to the view which turned out to be just the way I pictured it and then made my way over to Katoomba Falls. After my sight-seeing I ended the day content to sitting down and drinking some coffee. I also ran into the old couple I met from the day before and I told them goodbye.
