Nice was a way of describing it, but Barbara would have gone more with 'fantastic'. The rocks were purple, after all, and the moons were beautiful. Her only concern was how they were going to get up to the resort.

"It would have been good if the Doctor had landed us closer. Perhaps he thinks we need the exercise?" she smiled playfully and poked at Arthur's stomach. She highly doubted that the Doctor felt that way. He probably just got the coordinates wrong or something. "Come on, the sooner we start, the sooner I can lie in the sun without a robot asking me if I need sunscreen lotion every five minutes."

"No robots, I made sure." Arthur smiled, adjusting the strap across his shoulder for the journey, heading towards the hard sand and rocky beach. "Those breakers don't look to difficult to climb. I told him I wanted somewhere peaceful, quiet, with gorgeous weather and landscapes. The two moons are a surprise. They should reflect enough light so we can still travel in the dark if we have to, I would think."

She smiled at him and hefted her own bag a little higher to follow Arthur upwards. It didn't take long, however, until Barbara was puffing with the effort of climbing but once they reache the top, she could take a deep breath and look back on the view.

"Goodness," she gasped.

Arthur was a little glad he wasn't the only one out of breath. Lugging bags didn't make for an easy climb, though it wasn't terribly steep. He helped Barbara to the top and place his arm around her waist, looking out towards the beach.

"It's really quite stunning." He smiled.
