To see what we could see

We drove up a mountain to a very famous tourist spot where there was supposed to be a good view of the city.

The sky was hazy, though, and it looked more like the edge of the earth than an overview of the city.

Later we did sort of see what the view looked like.

And this is the famous temple on the mountain.

What else was there to see on top of the mountain?

Johannes behind the pillar.

Monks.

Chickens.

Crafty things to sell to tourists.

A giant bunch of bamboo which reminded me of asparagus.

And a lot of stairs.

(I took the elevator.)
