As we walked to find a taxi, I snapped a photo of gas prices.  Don't forget these prices are both in pounds and liters.  Translation for the equivalent of one gallon of gas would be -  .979 pounds = $2.04/liter * 3.79 liters/gallon = $7.73 per gallon.

...so we walked downtown to Visitor Information, and were promptly given directions for walking UP to the castle (it will only take 35 minutes or so, she said!)

Now that was definitely a workout, but we had been used to walking 3 to 12 miles a day, so it wasn't too bad once it was over...  Plus the views were amazing, here's a bay leading out to the English Channel.
