Padang Hill

Today is mostly pictures, taken on the way up and from the top of Padang Hill. It was a bit of a reality check for me.  Only 350 steps, mostly shallow, and I was done in.  I'll still try the Pinnacles Hike, but I'm less confident than before.

To get to Padang Hill, I had to cross the river (bridge), and turn left.  The road went by these boats, and precarious wharves.

 The path followed the mouth of the river, where fishermen came in with a morning's catch.

This used to be a point where cannons were needed to protect the harbour from invaders. On the way down, I saw a four-foot lizard go up the hill behind this bunker.

The path was very scenic.

A rest stop mid-way up.

Back at the river bank, a man worked on his dug out canoe.
