The view is spec...287 metres, what a climb! :))))<br />The view is spectacular though, definitely worth the hike. I can imagine that in high heat and humidity it's a real effort to walk to the top. <br />Your photos of the many details to marvel at along the way are wonderful. <br /><br />Now to answer your question about the biker in Marseilles, this is what it's all about: at the farthest end of the Vieux Port is a newish structure (inaugurated March 2013), a huge sheltered area designed by Norman Foster which is as useful in the hot sun as in the rain. The metro exit is there too. The underside of the structure's roof is made of mirrors (1,000 sq. meters of mirrors!) which offer a vast choice of fun picture opportunities. The structure is just by the water's edge and the guy with his bike was sitting just meters from me, but taking his photo via his reflection in the ceiling gave this very distorted image.<br />Check out this link for more :<br />http://www.tuxboard.com/miroir-geant-sur-le-vieux-port-de-marseille/<br />The photos show very well what the structure looks like and the effects it creates. If you're going to Marseilles soon, I'm sure you'll visit the Vieux Port. Make sure you fill up on fun photos of your own!Nathalie H.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16806509041466785588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-385127495391454105.post-3020297198335230172016-03-05T13:03:53.962-08:002016-03-05T13:03:53.962-08:00Yes Sara, Mt Coot-tha is 287m high.

Fabulous flowers and exotic (even too much) critters... Indeed it must be lovely to have such an interesting place near your home.<br />Googling, I read Mt Coot-tha would be 287 metres above sea level (is it correct?). Well, I guess for us it would be a peak! :D<br />Have a lovely weekend!Sara - Villa Emiliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17402655388283396110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-385127495391454105.post-8248080216457590842016-03-04T13:25:13.478-08:002016-03-04T13:25:13.478-08:00Yes, you are truly fortunate to have this beautifu...Yes, you are truly fortunate to have this beautiful park at your doorstep.
