Easter Sunday at the Blue Mountains
It's been a long Easter weekend, being a public holiday from Good Friday up to Easter Monday yesterday. So besides spending time with each other, Lee & I went up to the Blue Mountains on Easter Sunday with two of my new friends, B & H.
The drive up was pretty, with some stretches lined with deciduous trees changing colour for autumn. Most of these trees aren't native to Australia, and were brought over by the English migrants who wanted to be reminded of home. Besides passing by quaint little towns on the drive up, which you can't pretty much tell we were ascending, there was the occasional clearing that revealed majestic views of the Blue Mountains.
We made The Three Sisters our main destination of the trip. 
Although we were caught in the rain, and clouds covered our views at Echo Point, we made a picnic out of it while sitting in the shelter.
We didn't take the walk into The Three Sisters, and instead spent the time taking the Cableway down to the foothills. At the bottom was a scenic Walkway with an accessible boardwalk with three different routes.
Walking towards the scenic Railway, which was built modelled after the coal miner's railway down to the mines, we caught a framed view of the Katoomba falls.
The view of The Three Sisters and surrounding valley from the scenic Cableway.
We didn't get the chance to do much else that day. But there were other things to do like chestnut and walnut (or fruit, depending on season) picking in the orchards if we went along Bells Line in the north of the mountains; and art galleries to visit as well.
