Ngawi Staircase
Step step step. You’ve got to be kidding me, right? All the way to the top? What’s up there? What do you mean you’re not going to tell me? Don’t tell me to shut up. Alright, alright. Step step step.
This can’t be worth it. I’m going to have a heart attack. What? Only half way! Someone is going to pay. Step step step. Are we there yet? Geez, I shouldn’t have looked up.
Step step step. Is it going to be this blowy at the top? I’m going to freeze when I stop. Stop pushing me in the back. Okay, okay. I’m moving, I’m moving. They need an elevator. Are you sure this is really necessary?
I’ve lost count. How many steps do you think there is? What do you mean, “you don’t care”? Yeah, yeah - you and what army? Giggle. Cough. Pant. Ugh. Step step step.
Only ten stairs left. Pant. Wheeze. Nearly there. I can see the lighthouse. It looked far more impressive from the bottom. Step step step.
Yay! Made it. Wow! Pounamu green grasses stretch east to west, as far as my eyes can see. Grey-blue waters boil white breakers against the shore to the south. And the sky is the most perfect azure. I’ve never seen so much colour before. If I wasn’t so puffed, it’d be breath-taking.
Bloody hell! Those stairs look even worse from the top looking down. Maybe I should be quiet before someone thumps me.
