Blue Mountains Our plan was to visit the Blue Mountains today. Our local friends and online travel guides both recommended a visit. It is a bit of an earlier start as it's approximately two hours outside of Sydney. We trained to Strathfield where we met Physio and a few friends to drive the rest of the way.

I ended up spending a few hours in the Premium lounge in...

I've been recounting my adventures while not on the road. After a memorable hike up to Pulpit Rock our next stop was Bergen and the Norwegian Fjords.

There is a lot of sea travel in Norway and we wanted to give this form of transportation a try.  It was a 5 hour ride on open water so there were some bumps along the way....
