Day 8 we woke up to a brisk cold, sunny day. We went to another graveyard to clean a family grave, and then headed to a Chocolate Shop.. This place served “real” hot chocolate which entailed hot milk in a tall cup with a candle heating it underneath. Then you plopped large buttons of chocolate in a stirred… Sound good? It wasn’t!! None of us liked it sadly!!! Oh well, you gotta try things..!

We then went to the 3 sisters, which are 3 tall rocks which have a legend attached to them. 3 hot women were turned to stone by a sorcerer to prevent the advances of randy geezers… Unfortunately he died before turning them back to human form.. Tough luck!

We spent the night at the same town, before heading to Sydney the day after!

Hey guys!

After the fruit machine win we retired, and woke up early the next day for a long drive from Canberra to Richmond (near Sydney)… Then after cleaning some graves with Jens family, we carried on to the Blue Mountains. Arrived and parked up before Jen did some study and I cooked dinner.

Hey peeps….!

We motored up to Canberra today.. Australia’s capital.. Not much different really… same old same old.. BUT! We did find a veggie restaurant with so many dishes I couldn’t decide what to eat… brilliant.!

Then we met Pete (another relative) and went to the Golf club for dinner, and play “pokies” which are basic fruit machines… Now I thought when in Rome etc, so stuck $20 in a machine and hey ho… out comes $2896 dollars…! WHO DA MAN… Just for your exchange rate info… Thats about £1000!!!! Guess my excess luggage is sorted!

Off early into the mountains tomorrow, and maybe if we have time, do some Canyoning….

Much Love
