The path to the next bridge is often a labyrinth of many many steps. Coming back on the other side, the same. <br /><br />I made this mistake once, long ago. My wife, the more experienced visitor said, "OK buster, you wanna walk. Let's go." About 40 minutes later we reached that yellow building.<br /><br />We use traghetti now!
