999 steps or taxi?

In the afternoon my dad walked around the town some more while I enjoyed the last afternoon on board relaxing and reading my book. There was no sailing to watch today, but ...

999 Steps up the Wall
999 steps up the wall, 999 steps
If you should slip and happen to fall
They’ll be no more climbing on steps up the wall
One thing that makes me laugh touring some of these ancient sights is the total LACK of concern about safety. Old chipped rock steps which are far to narrow and steep with no handrail to speak of.
