Creator's Key Takeaways

So far, it's uh manageable as far as walking. I mean, certainly have to get back to the ship and I think we'll come back that way.

It's a nice view, but it takes a lot to get up here.

So, the answer to the question was is whether we should have paid for an excursion. No, no, this is good.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Wear comfortable shoes with good grip for hilly streets.
Be aware of traffic and steep inclines when exploring on your own.
Plan for potential rain and check weather forecasts.
