alicja129 Posted March 31, 2011 #2 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Yes, you can take it up the hill or down. They are very slow but great views. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Hlitner Posted March 31, 2011 #3 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Those donkeys have a mind of their own. There is a rough stone wall along one side of the donkey path and I once had a donkey who decided it would make his "donkey day" to drag my bare knee (I was wearing shorts) along that wall (it would have left all my skin on the wall). My donkey tried very hard to get me and it became a battle of wills. I finally got fed-up with this animal and yanked the reins as hard as I could to pull him away from that wall. That animal barely flinched....and after a few seconds he turned his head to look me in the eye as if to say something I cannot print here. But, at least he did not try the knee against wall trick from that point forward. Hank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dopeyngrumpy Posted April 7, 2011 #4 Share Posted April 7, 2011 I recommend the cable car My uncle gave up halfway and got off - it took him almost and hour to walk it and a girl on our ship was slammed into the wall and got a broken arm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebeccalouiseagain Posted April 7, 2011 #5 Share Posted April 7, 2011 its a bit slow going and gives me the willies. The donkeys walk up a set of white steps in the hot sun. It doesn't look fun for them. In fact, it seems abusive IMO. I did the cable car- zip... zip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erebus Posted April 18, 2011 #8 Share Posted April 18, 2011 I did do the donkey's because of the smell. Though some people swear by them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funsun60 Posted April 29, 2011 #9 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Personnally, we would not recommend the donkeys. Many large people (who could use the exercise by walking) sitting on these tiny beasts as they struggle up the hill. We are senior citizens and walked up and down..so it can be done. (only worse-case scenario was seeing the horse carriages in Luxor, Egypt) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
