Leura

Recently, a group of friends and I spent a week away at Leura which, for those who don't already know, is a small town in the Blue Mountains, Sydney. The most common reaction I got when telling people of my plans to holiday there was:
What the hell are you going to do in Leura for a week? 
This was understandable, as it is not exactly the liveliest of towns - not the type of destination choice expected of a group of young girls. But for me, the town holds a kind of romantic charm. Now, I don't mean romantic in the sense of rose petals on the bed, champange bottles, and bubble baths. I'm speaking of sitting by the fireplace with a cup of tea, drawing pictures with fingertips onto frosted windows, visiting quaint cafe's and book stores romantic. There's a relaxed ambience there that you can't help but get caught up in - and the handmade chocolate boutiques are awesome.

What did I do in Leura for a week? Nothing much. And I loved it.
