The weather was wonderful and once again it was not crowded, hooray!! we were able to take wonderful pictures. Rode the tobbagan again. We rode up on the enclosed gondoal and walked- probably about a mile -mostly down hill to the tobaggan. Except for Logan (5) who ran most of the way.

Unfortunately it was rainy so we didn't get the long views of the extension of the wall. but the tobbagon run is still there and working fine. We ventured up until we were at the first tower.. er the last tower that was restored. After that passage it was impossible to follow the wall. The trees and bushes had grown in the wall and it made it so we were unable to go even 20 feet past the tower. All in all a lovely sight with little tourist. I would suggest this as a must see.

The weather was great that day but there were very few tourists and most of the vendors were not open. We also enjoyed riding down on the tobbagon. Is it still there? You didn't mention it.

I thought it was steep. It was. However, en route to the Ju Yong Pass, our guide laughed at me, at which point everyone else did too.
