Back to Diary	12th July 1988	OZ 13th
Sydney to Blue Mountains	In to town to return Ne's non-functioning watch, but shop didn't open until 11AM. Had to wait for 5 other people before I could exchange the incorrect 8mm tape for 3 slide films. Left the Oxford at 10:30AM and headed west. First stop in Burwood so Gail could return a faulty sweater at Target. We bought a lot there and I got a 2 piece charcoal suit ($199) at The Colony Shop in the mall. Next stop at Mt Druitt Super K-Mart for even more purchases. Loaded up on groceries at Franklins. We arrived at Katoomba at 4:30PM to find out that place was full (school holidays) but the woman at the Information Center was able to find us a place with a kitchen ($60 + $10 for linen) (apparently a rare thing around there). Turned out to be a complete house (Green Tree Cottages) in the woods near Medlow Bath, pop. 17. Owner is a retired computer person who owns three houses there. He even started the fire in the pot belly stove. Huge wood burner barely kept up with the cold and damp (video).	Pedestrians
