309. That's how many steps we counted from the beach to our room at one of our favorite resorts and where we went for Christmas.
Several times a day too. No need to worry about gaining weight here; buns of steel by the time we left.
Let's start down at the beach. Dip your feet in the water to wash off the sand and then here we go....
Still climbing.....
Aha! A place to rest.
Rest over already?
Looking back at the rest area....
Hang in there!
That's my daughter...I make her haul the water (and everything else). See the tiny red arrow? That's where we turn in for our room.
Finally, the turn off on the right. Thought we were through? NOT. We have 55 more steep steps to go.
The last 16 steps, gasp... Tracy has reached our door.
Collapse in chairs on the deck and look at these two views at dusk. The Pitons in one direction and the ocean on the other. Are the steps worth it? Absolutely.
Well, how can you complain when you are in paradise! Reminds me of the Amalfi Coast.
ReplyDeleteOh, my! Gorgeous!! And I thought my 4th floor walk up in NYC this summer was a hike! This is stunning!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh..great way to stay in shape while enjoying the vistas:)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful. Or ... calf-solutely? I bet your calves are like rocks!!
ReplyDeleteLovely stairs and wonderful landscapes!
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Rosa
Looks like it might have been the stairway to heaven. Beautiful place!
ReplyDeleteNo need to worry about gaining weight with all of those stairs Barbara. What a lovely place and I know you enjoy visiting. Hope your Christmas was lovely.
ReplyDeleteSam
That view must have made every step worthwhile!
ReplyDeleteThe luggage??? That would be the only drag. But what a view! Guess they don't get too many fat tourists up that high. Gorgeous view. Was it fun too???
ReplyDeleteNow that's where I'd like to spend Christmas too! So great that you're able to travel with your daughter. It looks beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWow, no need to worry about keeping in shape there! What a glorious view and so worth the many stairs.
ReplyDeleteThis is a paradise and view that is worth doing some work for. I love the stone construction on all of the buildings and what a magnificent view you had from your house.
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous set of photos! And I was particularly thrilled to see them because ... we're going there too!
ReplyDeleteWow, beautiful pictures Barbara...what an awesome view! In regards to the steps...we had similar issues when in Santorini...
ReplyDeleteNow, that's a REAL stairmaster! LOL
ReplyDeleteoh wow, what a great vacation! i love the pictures!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! The view is stunning! And the beach is where I want to be - right now.
ReplyDeleteStunning views! Those steps could have killed me though. Who needs a gym after that?!
ReplyDeleteI want to go!
ReplyDeleteI would have to say that it is definitely worth it:D
ReplyDeleteSimply gorgeous. And I love a vacation where the exercise is simply built-in, then you can eat and drink with abandon (right?) Happy new year, Barbara!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely breathtaking. I am glad you had such an opportunity.

Stop by, if you have a moment.
Did you ever run up the stairs like Rocky? :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous view and a great workout!
ReplyDeleteTotally worth it for the view. :) Simply gorgeous.
ReplyDeletebreathtaking, and worth every step! you sure didn't have to worry about gaining on this trip, with your built-in workout.
ReplyDeleteWow, a great workout indeed, but well worth it :)
ReplyDeleteWow, that view must have been worth darn stair in that place. And on the bright side, no need to worry about gaining any weight!
ReplyDeleteWow! What a great vacation. The views are totally breathtaking. And the steps don't seem like they held you back at all.
ReplyDeleteWell I think they all look clean and nice and safe. I have not been there yet on holiday but I might well have to go there and have a look.
