Sydney to Katoomba



Day 40, Monday, February 20, 2006 It was overcast and showery as we checked out of our hotel, picked up our rental car and found our way out of Sydney without missing a turn, and all with just a paper map as the GPS could not find the satellites among the skyscrapers. As we headed for the Blue Mountains, we ran into some heavy fog so we programmed the GPS to find Katoomba. Unable to see any road signs, the GPS guided us along streets, around corners and through roundabouts and into town. Being really lost in town in the dense fog, we asked the GPS to find an accommodation from a guide that we had and it directed us right into the driveway. Without it, we would still be lost on the Great Western Motorway somewhere. We feel that we have already gotten our money’s worth from it. Here are a couple of photos of the Blue Mountains in the fog. You won’t find photos like these on any postcard.

We got fogged out at Katoomba but will give it another try on our way back.
