Kiama

Today, we took a trip to Kiama to see the famous blow hole. We arrived nice and early and the place was deserted. The waves work their way through a short underground passage before exploding through a small opening in the rocks, making a loud gushing sound.

There was a 4 hour wall along the coast from the blow hole to Kiama heights, which was a rather upper class residential area overlooking the sea. We stopped in a few places to watch the surfers riding the swell, which was great! After lunch we visited the quaint little town of Kiama and took a walk around the harbour.

Next, we drove to the impressive Nan Tien Chinese temple. There was a main temple complex, a tall pagoda and a pond full of lotus flowers and fish. The temple hosted many classes in Buddhist beliefs and even had a library!

We met our friends back in Wollongong at an Asian restuarant which served giant portions, before returning to their house together ...
