This was the day that we wanted to climb the rock, the big one! We wanted to get there early as the heat builds up very quickly, and the ticket office opened at 7am.
Arrived early, and very little queue, so the plan was to walk up to the fresco paintings, and see the lions paws, and come back. It was actually quite a walk from the ticket office to the start of the walk, and all the time stairs up and up!
We did pretty well, and got to the paintings, which was up a spiral staircase, and whilst good, not sure it was worth the extra up and down involved.
When we eventually got to the lions paws which form the last part of the walk, we were going to stop, but Heather wanted to do the rest of the walk, so we went for it!
It was quite a climb, and in effect you are waking up a see through staircase, bolted on to the side of the cliff face.
Finally made it, and the view was spectacular, how they managed to build a palace up here beats me...
Going down was much easier, and we were back in the car for around 9.30.
