Show me the way to go home.

Imagine what it would be like climbing these steps two and three times a day? You also need to keep in mind that on most occasions you would be carrying heavy foods such as potatoes and rice, water to wash and cook with and the occasional gas bottle which needed to be filled! One thing is for certain you would not want to get to the bottom too many times and wonder if you had locked the door or turned off the iron!


Steps such as these are all around us. Possibly because of a land shortage for suitable housing people are forced up the sides of the valley. You also have to remember that once you have your piece of land then you have to excavate the side of the valley in order to build on it!
I can assure you that there are longer stairways than these around this area.
