What A Difference A Day Makes...

2/15/2012

We checked out of the nightmare "Kurrara Guest House" at the earliest hour!  It was pouring rain, cold and miserable just to add to the ambience.  As you can probably tell by this point, our trip to the South Pacific has been less then stellar thus far.  Me made up our mind to book some timeshare resorts along the Gold Coast & Sunshine Coasts for the duration of our stay.  Just cannot take the daily surprises anymore.  We drove to a couple of libraries to get some free wifi but drove for an hour to various libraries and most were closed on Wednesday and the ones that were open did not have internet, the first location we have travelled where libraries did not have free internet service.

About noon the clouds started to break and we decided we would try to stick around Katoomba and see the sites, Three Sister's, Giant Stairway, Wentworth Falls, Leura, Echo Point Lookout and a few more tourist traps.  Just when we were giving up hope in finding decent lodging in the smaller centres, we stumbled upon the 3 Explorers Motel.  Sounds suspect but we were very pleasantly surprised.  The rooms were updated, spotless, free wireless, and hot breakfast and they actually appreciated your business.  Our previous attempt after leaving the Guest House was the Katoomba Town Centre Motel, where owner/operator basically told us to "take off", she was too busy to deal with us and has bus loads of tourists coming today so she really didn't care about our business.  

The decision to stick around was well worth it as the sites were spectacular.  We met an English couple next door and shared a few coctails on the patio.  Their feelings about Australia were pretty much on par with ours and Hugh complained that the prices on everything were outrageous.  Can you imagine a "Brit" saying that, considering the costs in England, which we know only too well.  

Looking forward to another day in Katoomba before heading to Sydney tomorrow morning.

    I have always been a straight shooter and a go getter.  Many have said Leslie must be a saint to have put up with me for over 40 years.  We have been business partners since the day we got married and each played an intrigal roll in our business success.  There is nothing more important to us than our Family & Friends.  Our love of people and travel has allowed us to develop amazing friendships around the world.
