if you can't do steps, this is a nightmare.The view was the best you could ever get, it was the highlight of the trip. The birds were beautiful, there were plenty of laces to grab a coffee and they were all close.

So glad you enjoyed it so much once you got upstairs! When we swapped notes beforehand you were concerned about the steps, so we offered a full refund in advance but you decided to go ahead, sounds like it was worth the effort! There aren't any waterfront places with lifts, only places further back need lifts. For anyone with serious mobility issues to consider, maybe one further back from the water could be a better option
