Welcome respite on a hard climb

If you want to see the Bay, you have to walk or take a flight over it. The walk down to the beach is 1.5 hours but up to the lookout it is 30 minutes but quite a taxing climb.

Hi Judy. That place looks like a place I can go when I need to unwind or walk and just be with nature. Very nice and peaceful place.

It was a lovely walk but I found it a bit taxing. If we'd had more time I could have gone a bit slower.

I wish I could travel to those kind of places while I'm still able to enjoy like the youngsters do.

Yes, it won't be long and we'll be too old to enjoy such strenuous walks.

The last climb I did was in New Zealand. Getting down was difficult. In the good old days one saw tiny platforms built of stone along several roads and this was to offload what was being carried - kind of a break They rested there and lifted the load once again for their onward journey

You cannot drive closer to the Bay. You can walk 1.5 hours down to the Bay but then you don't see the 'wineglass' effect (which is a bit over-rated anyway). So you either walk to the lookout or take a flight over the Bay.

Thanks. Yes, we have a few photos of both of us too. At the lookout we were all taking photos of each other. There was a little family and the little girl was very hard to photograph as she wouldn't stand still.

I agree. I wish I had the energy of a four-year-old right now. Those benches are interesting and the one designed by architectural students looks inviting. Very nice pictures, but my favorite would be the path with the stone steps.

I am choosing my walks more carefully now. There was a 1.5 hour walk down to the beach but it was a hard walk so we didn't bother with that one. Certainly the view from the lookout was worth the effort.
