Tuesday - 25 May 2010 -Looking upside down - Day 11

I'll work out what city we started at when I get home.

We caught at least two if not three trains to our destination to a place where you stand on a concrete bench, look between your legs and you can see a stairway to heaven.

What you are looking at is like a peninsula between two island that has sand caught in little rows that look like steps ... well something like that.

As we travelled out to this town the clouds started to come down and then just as we got to the town it started to rain and initially we thought we'd stay on the station and not even bother leaving. But just as we arrived in the town I spotted what I thought was a cable car and I said to Alan that that wouldn't be too bad because it was inclosed. So we asked the attendant at the station how long it would take to get to the cable car? she said about 5 minutes and although from experience I didn't quite believe her we set off but in this case she was spot on. Also as luck would have it the rain had stopped and I indicated to the people in the carriage with us that we should blow the cloud away - so we all jokingly blew the clouds away and would you believe it the clouds parted and all of a suddent we were in sun.

It was quite a long ride to the top and then we could see the "stairway" and so we took it in turns standing on the seats and bending over and looking at the stairway and they were right it looked like a stairway to heaven. We spent about 40 minutes on the top of the mountain range and then headed back to the town and took some more photos as we travelled down.

It took approximately 2 hrs to get back to the city where our luggage was and it was fairly late about 7.30 pm but even after a long day it was a mosy enjoyable day.
