Julie Liljegren in Australia: Katoomba with a Swiss chick

19.06.11

One of my best friends here in Australia amongst the exchangestudents is deffinitely Sara. The day where we have to leave this amazing country is getting closer and closer, and Sara still had not seen the 3 sisters nor Katoomba untill today.

Henni's Hostdad gave us a lift from Sara's place this morning to Springwood. It was quite lucky that the outgoing students briefing was held in my town and that Henni's hostbrother is going out. And well we could as well go to the briefing for fun, why not? So we did for an hour or two. Saying Hi to the new students and our counsellours was quite fun especially when speakers were refering to us!!! The danish and Swiss chick ha ha but while it was still morning we had to head to my house. So we did, packed a little bag and got dressed in the warmest clothes we could find.

Katoomba for the day with my wonderful Hostmum who actually came up with this splendid idea! Lucy my little sister came with us of course.

It was a beautiful winters day. equals: Cold of course, and sunshine!

We watched the 3 sisters, went to the skyrail where Sara, Lucy and I went for a walked in the valley. And then Katoomba city! I little nibble for lunch and then a trip to the Hattery!

My goodbyepresent from my rotaryclub would be a Akubra hat, so my hostmum got asked to help me buy it now when we were the right place! :)

So I tried all different styles and finally found the right one, to be presented to me tomorrow evening in the club.

Meanwhile Lucy and Sara tried on all the hats possible.

It was such a good day, with our goal achieved -to show the swiss chick the bluemountains !!!

We all fell asleep on our way home in the car (except Annie of course)

Sara stayed for a sleepover and I took the monday off school and helped her getting to Springwood on the train.
