KATOOMBA!!!!!

Three guys go hiking in the forest, minding their business and suddenly they are captured by this aboriginal tribe. The tribe members bring the three men to their tribe leader. The tribe leader explains to the men that they have travelled over sacred grounds and unless each man can bring back 10 pieces of the same kind of fruit back to the leader, he will have them killed. The three men agree to get the fruit and set out to the woods.
The first guy comes back with 10 apples. The tribe leader tells him, " If you want to live, you must with no facial expression shove all your 10 fruit up your ass and we will let you go." The first man knows he has no choice, so without facial expression gets the first apple up, then the second, but come the third apple, he lets out a single tear and the leader instantly kills him.
The second guy comes with 10 grapes. The leader explains the rules of survival and the second man starts his task. He inserts the first grape, then the second, third and fourth. By the time he gets to the 9th grape, he bursts out in laughter. The tribe leader kills him instantly.
At the Pearly Gates, the first man asks the second man, " you were so close to survival, 9 grapes in, what the hell could have been so funny that you had to laugh?"
The second guy tells the first, " I saw the third guy coming back with pineapples!"

Katoomba is a beautiful place to hike and enjoy nature. Located just 130kms outside of Sydney, a 2 hour train ride, you can enjoy the mystical Blue Mountains and walk trails for 7 hours if you like. Today will be my second day doing the walk. I did it on Thursday with some friends from Sydney and figured that I wanted to get out of town and try something different. Thursdays walk included seeing the Three Sisters, 3 massive rocks in the middle of the "jungle", many waterfalls and all kinds of birds. I met some people here in Katoomba that are staying at my hostel and want me to "guide" them around. Today should be another adventure with loads of walking. Hope you enjoyed the joke. More to come later. I'm off for a hike!
