Wednesday April 21, 2010 – to Katoomba

Today is our last time packing up all the little bits and pieces. When we leave on Saturday we will just have our suitcases and golf bag. It is hard to believe our trip is just about over. We had an easy trip over to Katoomba.

As we entered the area known as the Blue Mountains we stopped at Mitchells lookout. We could see back to the plains to the west of the range and into the valley to the east. It was breath taking. There were three different area to the look out so that Charles asked it I was going over to another area. I thought we were going back to the car. It would have been much better if I had just gone to the car. As I was stepping up on a boulder, I pushed off with my left foot. A searing pain shot through my arch. I could barely put any weight on this foot. Charles took a few more pictures before we made our way back to the car. After we got settle into our accommodation we headed to the hospital. I did not think I had broken anything but we wanted to be on the safe side. The doctor thinks I over stretched a ligament through the arch of my foot. I am to take it easy for the next few days. It will take quite a while to heal. I am not too happy as there are a number of things to see and do around here. I think my foot has been telling me to take some time off since Ayres Rock. Now it is taking revenge.
