Unfortunately I have a problem ankle that gives me quite a deal of pain when we go exploring but, as I love visiting new places on our travels, I take some painkillers, grab my walking stick and go.
When on guided tours or wandering around large sites I love to find a SEAT (or piece of street furniture) where I can rest for a few minutes. I sometimes encourage Mr GeniAus to climb slopes and stairs to make the most of his visits while I rest, savour the environment and people watch. Passing on the walk up to the Acropolis in Athens provided me with much entertainment from my shady seat.
I am not alone in my love of seats as usually, when we are in a large group and our guide stops to explain a feature at a site, there is a rush for any seats, walls or rocks where the tourists can rest their weary or aged limbs.
My camera has captured some snaps of welcome resting places.
