The sea the castle is on. The kids loved throwing rocks into the water.
The view out to sea was beautiful and since it was
surrounded by huge hills it was actually pretty warm down by the water.
You have to walk down millions of stairs to get to the ruins of the castle, a pretty hard fete with two toddlers but totally worth it.
Another view down by the sea. I love the rock beach, so different than anything in America.
Thank goodness I (Delta airlines) bought these boots (wellies) for Deacon. They are perfect for the weather here and perfect for playing on this beach.
This is a wall on the inside of the castle. It is amazing to me that the whole thing is made
completely out of stone. The exterior is covered in nests birds have made in the cracks.
This view is amazing. I love the castle ruins in the background. Now you can see really how crazy it is that someone had to carry all the rocks to the top of the hill in order to build the castle on the hill. The castle was used to keep prisoners of wars so that they could not escape since it is on the sea. I would love to have seen how amazing the castle was when it was actually a castle.

So glad you are out and about now! I could never get over the ruins--something so out-of-this-world about them. Hope you're having an amazing time.
