Blue Mountains Winter Getaway


We spent the holiday weekend ("The Queen's Birthday", which is not actually celebrated on the queen's birthday) at the Blue Mountains with some friends. We stayed at the Clarendon Guesthouse for the first time, which has unremarkable rooms, but is quite cosy. They did have a nice common room with a fireplace, and a game room that had workout equipment that was so old I was amazed it still was in kind-of-working order. They also had my favorite winter amenity - heated beds

We ate at some local favorites like Station Bar (good wood-fired pizza), The Treasured Teapot/Bygone Beauties, and Yellow Deli. We also got to try an Indian place called Anki, which was pretty good. 

We hiked a trail called National Pass, and enjoyed Lilian's Glen, Empress Falls, and Wentworth Falls. We also went golfing in Leura, which we rarely do and are terrible at. It was all good fun.
