The Phoenix Rises

The 3 sisters and 2 cousins

The Blue mountains and the 3 sisters.

We took the very picturesque ferry to Parramatta from Circular Quay. Very economic way of seeing Sydney and suburbs from the water.
Dad's cousin Bob met us with wife Denise in their large ford dual cab jeep.
It was a very friendly meeting and they insisted on driving us to the Blue mountains to show off their country. It was a beautiful drive with very impressive viewpoints, but the 3 Sisters were the main attraction. We  treated them to lunch and they told us all about the area. Apparently they love an excuse to drive out here and show it off. I can see why.
We drove back to their bungalow and sat outside until dark, under the covered patio, which was the size of our whole garden. We didn't go for a swim as it started to rain and a full blown storm blew in overnight causing flooded rivers and 8,000 houses without power. 
We slept through it and the arrival of Kirsty their daughter, her partner Arron and his son who was up to compete in a water surfing competition.

We were a tad tired.

As aye
