While I was in Sydney, Australia, I went to the Blue Mountains in Katoomba. I rode the Blue Mountains Explorer Bus and went to Scenic World. I asked the Driver of the Blue Mountains Explorer Bus what stop should I explore first and he told me to explore Scenic World before the large crowds arrive. I got off at stop 7 and rode the Scenic Skyway. Rode the Scenic Railway to explore the Scenic Walkway then road the Scenic Cableway. The Blue Mountains Explorer Bus Guide said "warm, friendly family service and delicious meals" are at Café Lurline, stop 15. So the bus dropped me off at stop 15. I enjoyed lunch at Café Lurline. One employee frombCafé Lurline showed me the route to walk to Echo Point so I could see Three Sisters up close. I then got on the Blue Mountains Explorer Bus and got off at Katoomba Station. I experienced two drivers on the Blue Mountains Explorer Bus and I learned more about Blue Mountains. Thanks Blue Mountains Explorer Bus and Scenic World for a great day.

Our hop on hop off experience was wonderful. The bus was always on time. It was a very wet and gloomy day, so we couldn't see much of the sites, however our driver Angus was so entertaining that we didn't feel the effects of the gloomy day. Angus made the tour very enjoyable. He happily answered our questions and made us feel so welcome.
