I walked a lot in my time in St Augustine, partly becuase in the month preceeding I barely walked anywhere (and basically I ate my way round Asheville) and partly because the weather was so gorgeous and the scenery so compelling it felt like the best possible way to see the place.
The longest walk was from town, past the Castillo, over the Bridge of Lions to the St Augustine Light. Built in 1874 the lighthouse has 219 steps to the top, and thankfully a bunch of landings for you to rest on as you climb it… confession… my legs were well wobbly by the time I got to the top… and for quite a while after I hit the bottom…

Proof positive I was here… (aren’t selfies the worst?)
