Even though I had to be ready for pick up at 6.45 I really enjoyed every minute I was out today. They day started with a tour around Sydney to pick up other people and I could watch the city slowly waking up and the sun rise.... It was a nice extra city tour!Today's bus driver was much more pleasant und the group of people traveling was much smaller (only 15people), but we still had a big coach! The sky was bright blue all day long and sun was shining all the way down to Jervis Bay and back to Sydney and the scenerie was amazing. Since traffic was pretty good the bus driver altered the tour and took us down to the coast and drove along cliff rather than up on top. We drove across a C-shaped bride, that was going along the cliffs (it was actually featured in a Ferrari commercial once...) 
We stopped in Kiama, where there is a rock formation right on the water and if the tide and wind is right water comes out of one hole just like out of a wale's blowhole.... We had a baby wale today... All the way down the coast I just could not believe how incredebly beautiful the weather was. I had checked the forecast and it had talked about thunder storms by mid day, but the sky stayed bright blue. In Illawhara (that's the part of the country we drove through) they do get a lot of rain though and everything was still very green, not like in other parts of the country and driving a long the coast it reminded me a little of pictures I had seen of Ireland. The next stop was Jervis Bay where we got on a Boat to cruise the bay for about 2,5hours and look out for Dolfins! And we got lucky, again not quite as many as they sometimes get to see, but still quite a few. 
But they were really hard to capture on a picture..... But it was fun to watch them and cruise around the bay. The group of people I was traveling with was really nice. One woman was from Zurich (we spent quite some time talking) and during lunch time we chatted with a couple from Texas and a Lady from L.A. It was really a nice group of people. The wharf in Jervis Bay looked like right out of paradis - white sand, clear turquois water and bright blue sky.
I could barely believe that I saw all of that!!!! It was amazing (had I mentioned that yet...;))Then we headed to Kangaroo Valley in Kangaroo Valley (the town got the same name as the valley - not confusing at all;)) On the way I did see one Kangaroo hopping through the bushes! Pretty cool, but again too quick for a picture, so you just got to believe me! Kangaroo Valley was another really green area.... we had to drive up a very windy road, but the view from the top into the valley was (guess what) really, really great..... Kangaroo Valley (the town now) was a cute little country side town with little wooden houses on the either side of the one main road... And that had really good ice cream! Driving through Kangaroo Valley (the actually valley now) we passed a lot of other very similar towns. We appearently also drove by an intersection where one could get to the town where "Babe" was made.... The last stop of the day was Fitzroy falls. A very impressive and high waterfall (61m). Fortunately it had rained a little bit over the past days so that we did get so see some water going down.... Most of the stops today where quick stops, but they all were great and the countryside we drove through was wounderful. I am afraid the pictures will only represent little of what is actually there.....
I had a wounderful even day, even though I was dressed a little inappropriate since I had expected rain to come in at some point during the day.....
