corner and you will have completed you quest.

Warning:
Unfortunately, the criminal element is at large. I recommend against
walking the entire route on Esplanade, as it passes through a high
crime area. The locations specifically mentioned should be safe to
visit as these are normal tourist attractions. If you exercise normal
precautions, this should be an interesting outing.

Note:
It is not necessary to travel the entire route if you know your history
and landmarks.
