Nearly Perfect Travel Day

Waking without an alarm, a leisurely shower while a delicious breakfast is prepared for me. Following sharing some music I head to the downtown seashore for a look around with a local to guide the way. We discover an extreme ropes course and I jump (climb and zip) at the chance. It turns out to be a whack of fun and some great laughs. The first friend must leave for work but is immediately relieved by another who is more than happy to take me on a hillside hike. We start easy, climbing to a palace for a lovely garden snack, then dig in for the final six kilometre trail ending at a cliffside castle overlooking the city at sunset. A vegetarian native speaker orders my dinner for me while I take care of the beer. Following dinner I receive an inside tour of the city's graffiti scene before returning home tuckered yet supremely satisfied.
