We noticed the steps when we were first descending down to the caves but choose not to go down them . Coming back up we went a different route and that route took us up this small section, it was actually quite fun.<br /><br />No worries about this trip ending, we will have a whole new adventure ahead of us come January 1st and this is one we are really looking forward too.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-90285983138947210962016-12-15T03:47:29.187-05:002016-12-15T03:47:29.187-05:00Everything about the hike to the cave monastery wa...Everything about the hike to the cave monastery was easy, the only problem spot was the one Kevin videoed, they were very old stairs and only a very short section and if we really didn't want to go up them we just had to use the alternative pathway which we had originally come down on and spotted these steps but didn't want to descend on them so instead we chose to climb up them instead which brought up back to the pathway.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-46686785736804382642016-12-15T03:41:21.507-05:002016-12-15T03:41:21.507-05:00Glad you enjoyed it.

It has been far too long since we have done that and it will be our first one to spend with our grandchildren. Not looking forward to the cold though!<br /><br />Yes, the language barrier does pose a bit of a problem at times, you can't just go up and start talking to a stranger about the history of their village! We did spend time with locals who spoke English, so we were able to get a good understanding of the country and it's culture, the food and the economy which was very helpful.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-3302549878334706042016-12-15T03:18:24.481-05:002016-12-15T03:18:24.481-05:00I know, us too!

It was a like colder than what we were expecting though, so if we had one piece of advise to give to someone planning to travel here would be to come in late spring, summer or early fall!<br /><br />The wheel change was neat, more about it in the next post.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-90687517173117580822016-12-15T03:15:56.327-05:002016-12-15T03:15:56.327-05:00Yep, it sure does, luckily this was the only secti...Yep, it sure does, luckily this was the only section that was this steep and we could have gone back the way we came if we didn't want to climb it but this way was more fun! :-)Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-89282698331680042872016-12-15T03:14:10.489-05:002016-12-15T03:14:10.489-05:00It was interesting and the whole procedure took ab...It was interesting and the whole procedure took about 2 hours in total to complete.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-81595742943905708422016-12-15T03:11:54.644-05:002016-12-15T03:11:54.644-05:00Actually it was only a very small section of steps...Actually it was only a very small section of steps that were that steep but it sure made a good video! :-) The view was a good one though and it was nice that we had a blue sky day.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-17652633214353872072016-12-14T15:10:09.900-05:002016-12-14T15:10:09.900-05:00You both are quite adventurous not sure I would ha...You both are quite adventurous not sure I would have made that climb!

I always wonder why they leave abandon buildings. It's seems they could finish building for other purposes. I especially like your castle visits and pictures of rooms, host, and food. Loved the cities and country side. Too bad there was a language barrier....probably locals had a lot to share about history, family, economy, etc. Rita from Phoenixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08722798328449733244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-39341348739237005922016-12-14T10:13:35.794-05:002016-12-14T10:13:35.794-05:00I can't believe your journey is over.
