点评:Dang was that a long, hot walk! Truely a once in a lifetime experience! I almost skipped it since it was so hot, but said to myself, "it's now or never!" The long winding staircase of 444 steps (each step is marked), brings you up the steep hill of the old town which is still very active with locals living and working in the many buildings and alleys along the way.
When I got to the summit, I discovered a small church and the lighthouse and stunning views of the city and harbor. The top is amazing, but it's all about the journey both up AND down...
These steps take you through the very colorful old neighborhoods with many side alleys and little shops and cafes along the way. The steps are broken into "sets" of @50 - 100 steps per section. At each " level" up the city views just get more interesting and expansive! Along the way, I found many little cafes, galleries, and shops to browse, but usually just settled for a strategically placed bench (in the shade) to catch my breath and drink water.
The steps wind through bright, vibrant neighborhoods with lots of colorful flowers and art displayed where people live and work. The steps are often in the blazing sun but also usually had railings which were very helpful. I will say, I was constantly seeking a shady respite. A hat and water are crucial! Plus, I took it slow with many stops and lots of pictures!
Though there are many touristy shops, the vendors were not at all aggressive - just low key and helpful. Definately a highlight of my trip! But my legs are still shaking! Lol
翻译:哇,这趟徒步真是又长又热!真是一生难忘的体验!天气太热,我差点就放弃了,但转念一想,“机不可失,时不再来!” 这条蜿蜒曲折的444级台阶(每级都有标记)带你登上老城区陡峭的山坡。老城区至今依然充满活力,沿途的许多建筑和巷弄里,当地居民生活和工作着。
到达山顶后,我发现了一座小教堂、一座灯塔,以及令人惊叹的城市和港口景色。山顶固然令人叹为观止,但沿途的风景同样精彩……
这些台阶带你穿过色彩缤纷的老街区,沿途有许多小巷、商店和咖啡馆。台阶被分成若干段,每段大约50到100级。每向上攀登一段,城市景观就更加迷人、更加开阔!沿途我发现了许多小咖啡馆、画廊和商店可以逛逛,但通常我都会找个位置绝佳的长椅(最好在阴凉处)坐下,喘口气喝点水。
台阶蜿蜒穿过明亮而充满活力的街区,那里鲜花盛开,艺术品琳琅满目,人们在这里生活和工作。台阶经常被烈日炙烤,但好在通常都有扶手,非常实用。说实话,我一直在寻找阴凉处休息。帽子和水必不可少!而且,我走得很慢,停下来拍了很多照片!
虽然有很多旅游纪念品商店,但摊贩们一点也不咄咄逼人——他们都很低调友好。这绝对是我这次旅行的一大亮点!不过我的腿现在还在发抖!哈哈
