Yesterday I toured the Blue Mountains, went on a three hour hike, saw the Three Sisters (rated one of the top things to see in Australia) and had the best sandwich of my life. Yup, that’s right, one of the highlights was the sandwich. They actually had gluten free bread that tasted normal, I haven’t had bread that was normal tasting in over seven years. Oh how the simple things in life is really what makes it worth living.

But back to the mountains, they were beautiful. I especially liked the part of the hike where we got to go on our own. I love hiking and outdoorsy activities but I find them horribly boring if the pace is slow. Because a couple of the people on the tour were older it felt more like a lazy walk at times. Of the things that I have done so far I wouldn’t rank it that high on my list of things to recommend. Speaking of my list, this is my current list of things to see or do in no particular order (I am sure that it will expand over the next several months):

- Bungee jumping
- Hold a koala (not going to happened, but got as close to it as I could)
- Visit Tasmania
- Visit Uluru (Ayres Rock)
- Go to a movie by myself (it has been on my personal to do list for a couple of years now)
- Get a picture of a wild kangaroo
- Sky diving
- White water rafting
- Learn to surf (will have done that by the time this is posted)
- Play in an Australian Frisbee league

I am up for suggestions if anyone can think of something that I should try while I am traveling and working here.
