Hopefully next trip it will be finished, once its a brighter colour and the scaffolding is down it will be a lot more visible from the road

I thought I was completely alone up here but then this cat appeared
IMG_2580.JPG
Initially it wouldnt come near me and ran off if I approached it

I doubt this is milk put out for the cat, probably where they have washed paint brushes out I guess

Suddenly I notice there are two cats
IMG_2586.JPG
Back at my bike as I am eating my lunch both cats come to me and stay there

I am now standing at the bottom of the steps leading up to the Buddah, its 242 metres to walk and its 104 metres higher at the top, quite a steep climb then
IMG_2591.JPG
I for one wont be climbing them
