Wednesday in Australia

On Wednesday, Steve dropped us off at the Train station at 7:30am so we could catch the train to the Blue Mountains. Of course, we thought Brennan would sleep on the way there, and after much struggle, we finally got him to fall asleep about 30min from Katoomba. It was drizzly, rainy, and quite cold. We boarded a bus that had 29 stops at different sights, and took a spin around - everything was clouded in, and Brennan was tired and not riding in the bus well, so we went back to the beginning for lunch. After lunch we got back on the bus and got off to do the tram ride across the valley, and the steepest railroad car ride to the bottom. At the bottom, we walked around the boardwalk paths until Brennan fell asleep. Luckily we had the stroller with us, so he could get a little snooze while we walked around. Then, we took another tram up to the top, and took the tram back across the valley. Things cleared off a little bit and we could see some of the scenery. The best part of our day was when we "hiked" to Echo Point and the three sisters with Brennan in the stroller. Thankfully we purchased a rugged stroller that could handle the terrain. He thought it was great fun. We got back on the train at 5:30pm and after getting on the wrong train in Sydney and getting turned back around, Steve picked us back up again at 8:30pm. It was a very long day, but we had fun.
