点评:You can chalk this up to me being a dumba$$ or whatever. But you do apparently need to do some planning. This place now has operating hours and some kind of online ticketing thing I knew nothing about. I got an Uber up there, then found out the gates only open for 20 minutes three times a day (they reopen after 90 minutes after each opening to let you out). Please do the homework or book a tour. I was lucky, I was alone, so no one to be mad at me. Waited for the gate, got inside and found out I was supposed to have a reservation, I slipped in with the crowd, hustled away from the tour and got a selfie and a look at the city and statue, and made it out before the gate closed. Then I couldn't get an Uber or a taxi back (cell phone is spotty at best), so I started the (very long, like several miles) walk down the hill. After a half hour of walking and lost at a a fork in the road, a very nice woman, "Maria the Motorcycle Woman" stopped and asked if I was lost. She pointed me in the right direction. Then she came back and asked if I needed help. I did. She asked if I knew how to ride on a motorcycle (how to lean into turns, etc) and I do. She told me to get on. She gave me a ride all the way to the bottom (I had no helmet so I got off at the edge of the city because of the helmet law). She was a godsend. Don't be me. Plan ahead for this and know the rules, better yet, book a tour. It's not as easy as it seems and takes some planning. (And, to be honest, it ain't all that). Also, Maria, wherever you are, thank you. I hope life rewards you for your kindness and concern.
翻译:你可以把这归咎于我是个傻瓜或者诸如此类。但你显然需要做一些计划。这个地方现在有营业时间和某种我完全不知道的在线售票系统。我叫了一辆 Uber 上去,然后发现大门每天只开放三次,每次 20 分钟(每次开放 90 分钟后才会重新开放让你出去)。请做好功课或预订旅游团。我很幸运,我一个人,所以没有人生我的气。等到大门打开,进去后发现我应该有预订,我跟着人群溜了进去,匆匆离开旅游团,自拍了一张,看了看城市和雕像,然后在大门关闭前出来了。然后我打不到 Uber 或出租车回去(手机信号不稳定),所以我开始(很长,大概有几英里)走下山。走了半个小时,在一个岔路口迷路了,一位非常友善的女士,“摩托车女士玛丽亚”停下来问我是否迷路了。她给我指了个方向。然后她回来问我是否需要帮助。我需要帮助。她问我懂不懂骑摩托车(比如转弯时如何倾斜身体),我知道。她让我上车。她一路载我到山脚(我没有戴头盔,所以根据头盔法,我在城边下了车)。她真是个天赐之人。别学我。提前做好计划,了解相关规定,最好是预订个旅行团。这不像看起来那么容易,需要一些计划。(而且,说实话,事情远没有那么简单)。还有,玛丽亚,无论你在哪里,谢谢你。希望生活能回报你的善良和关心。
