    The stairs minus the rotten tomatoesSt Ignatius' Cathedral.Inside: a calm, quiet oasisThe start of the walk along the walls encircling the old city. Still dry.We learnt of masterful defensive architecture by eavesdropping on the guidesWe had the benefit of being able to run away when people asked stupid questionsThe city is still functional. Getting things past council must be a bitch tho. Matching bball court!The church and the wealthy dominate all the best locationsSelfie 10m later: Mr and Mrs Sheen!There were many hole in the wall bars and swimming spots which would be lovely in, but sticky out.Our earliest return to shore time (and at the largest & most historical stop).. shame!
