Sightseeing Log - Locations

[GurrenLagann]

German Text #32:
"Zweifellos außer Muschel-Reichweite, aber auch nicht der gemütlichste Ort, um eine nasskalte Nacht zu verbringen. Runterzukommen soll dagegen einfach gewesen sein."

English Translation (rough):
"Indeed out of the shells-range but not a comfortable place to stay/hide in a cold, wet night. Although it is easy to get down."

Any fix for translation is much appreciated XD

English Text: Overheard at a tavern: "Spent the night on that ledge, I did—anything to escape those shelled monstrosities. Wasn't a bad sight, though I can't say I enjoyed the trip down..."

Doesn't both text contradict each other? English text implies he didn't enjoy the trip down (meaning it wasn't easy to get down); yet, German text (assuming translation is close to accurate) implies that he got down so easy (and possibly neither enjoyed or didn't enjoyed the trip down)

Unless I misinterpret the last line "I can't say I enjoyed the trip down"
