999 steps

Cas and I just climbed down 999 stairs from the Palamidi Castle. At one point, it was a fortress used for defense. In another moment, it was a prison. Now, it's a tourist attraction. Things evolve that way. 

There are beautiful views on all sides. 

There are worse places to be incarcerated. 

We have time for more exploring today before we leave Nafplio. We get on an overnight ferry to Crete this evening and wake up in Chania on the island of Crete tomorrow. 

We've made a quick stop for some thoroughly necessary refreshments. We may head to the street market next, or we may visit the "floating" castle out in the water. A lot depends on how functional our legs are when we stand up.
