The view from the ship doesn’t really prepare you for what’s in store. When we reached the small harbour the queue for cable car stretched for miles so we made the decision to walk. There are hundreds of donkeys also being trekked up and down but we were not entirely happy with the way they were being treated hence the decision to walk. It took us about 30 minutes to reach the top and the view from the top is really worth the effort. 2 of us walked back down and 1 took the cable car.
Really, 5 hours is not enough time here as I would loved to have felt comfortable enough to have some food in one of the restaurants overlooking the edge. A very busy port today with 5 ships in with us and it felt it too! One to tick off the list but next time I think that it mean I stay on the ship.

It’ a few years since we visited, the last time we were the only ship another arrived around lunchtime, so we had no problems with the cable car and the view is spectacular seeing the number of ships that you found when you arrived. From what I remember the island in the background is/was a volcano. Always wonder how so many jewellery shops can survive.
You could say that just about anywhere Bill.
