The mountains resounding His majesty~

26th september to 28th september 2007- The Blue mountains, Katoomba/Leura/Wentworth falls.

My first bushwalk in the real mountains was just breathtaking. It was really exciting to be on my first backpacking trip - though it wasn't to somewhere really far. With Eileen and Cai, we headed to blue mts on a 2 hours train ride to katoomba and stayed for 2 nights. Blue mountains is called blue mountains is because of the blue haze above the mountains that can be seen..
For the 3 days we went to trek to see the famous 三姐妹 and the Jenolan caves series( Lucas caves) and the waterfalls. 3 girls running up and down the cliffs..It was unimaginable the amount of climbing and walking we did- close to 6-7 hours a day.

It was all worth it to just witness how the mts and caves and forests and valleys were formed- the history and stories behind the places were interesting( it helps to have a good tourguide). We lost quite a bit of calories but gained a whole load of insight on our abilities to climb and trek as well as (for myself) how the hand of God can be so creative.
When I saw blue mountains, I can't help but start singing -
When I think about the heavens, the moon and all the stars,
I wonder what you ever saw in me.
But you took me and you loved me and given me a crown
And I will praise your name eternally~
O Lord my God, how excellent your name is
How excellent your name in all the earth.
The glory fills the Heavens beyond the furthest stars
How excellent your name in all the earth.

The most memorable part of the trip was the journey to the caves. When you thought you saw the great cliffs and forests at the blue mountains itself, when the coach drove past the mountain range and the Great Dividing range and Megalong valley- I was just overwhelmed with the majestic outlook of the fields and mountains. I so wanted to hug it and bring it home. hahah..so I did that with buying postcards.

We went to places like chocolate factory and the famous wentworth pies, not forgetting the rides all around the blue mountains.:) Ah did i mention about the Kangaroos..they are SO CUTE!!!! aiyo~ i was so amused by them. They came pouncing on me when i gave them food..and i got to hug one:)I hope that my husband will never have to sit on that. Venturing and conquered the mountains!Thank you for this awesome time, Eileen and Cai:)
