DAY 3

Majestic panorama

Majestic panorama

We woke up refreshed and feeling about 75% human again as you never seem to sleep as well as your own bed, but seeings as our bed the night before was the Hilux then anything would be an improvement. We started a Bible study together from Erwin McManus of Mosaic church and it is both inspiring and challenging, talking about anxiety and worry. Anyway we drove to Echo Point lookout expecting to see a myriad of tourists and crowds but we were one of only a handful of people there. To say the view was majestic is an understatement as the clouds hung below the three sisters formation giving a truly majestic feel that added to the whole experience. As you stand there the clouds begin to lift and the view gets clearer and clearer and it becomes a panorama to rival any I have seen before. We walked along the pathways and discovered some of the not so hidden secrets like he cable car and the falls. And while we where at the bottom lookout someone must have released the tourists, it was kind of like when you drop food and you get an ant-alanche seemingly from no-where they emerge in their hundreds. this didn’t ruin our fun as we love people so we offered to take photos for them so we became a part of their trip as they became a part of ours. As we went back to the top viewing platform we saw more buses and people turn up, it seems we had accidentally picked the best time to be at echo point. As we left we gave our parking ticket to someone who had just arrived just as a way to make their day a bit easier. It was from their to the glow worm caves we thought. It turned out the way in was being resurfaced for the Easter rush and was not open for us and the other option was to hike in but being particularly round still, my current fitness would not allow this.
