Snake Bites And Angel Bites Piercings

Leonido January 6 - Monemvasia - Gythio

morning it turned out, that dominate the town very picturesque rocks, a very warm, orange color - it reminded me a bit of English Climbing area - El Chorro.



nieprzytulny left the hotel just a couple of nice and old men and headed toward the Monemvasii. Drive through the town was pretty funny ...: Main street, as already mentioned, was the width of one car with a piece, did not have quite the sidewalks, and the road curved suddenly and unexpectedly - sometimes a man had the impression that lands someone in the backyard:).
far apart from the sea (by the way I read that in any place in Greece, a man is not from the sea more than 100 km) and began the journey through the mountains Parnon. The route was very, very scenic and very spacious. A simpler: the barrel next to us doing more and more impressive, the greater the opportunity to commune with it just us: there is no car went by us.
At one point we passed a monastery nestling hen up to the rock - I am full of admiration for the builders:



The higher wdrapywaliśmy - the weather was getting uglier - generally wjeżdżaliśmy in the clouds. Of course, at this very moment - when the zewntątrz was cold and wet - again decided Jasiek rzygnąć - quickly stopped and I managed to catch the next part of the excavated material in a clean and almost dry clothing giants have that zarzygał previously ... Fortunately, the end of the exit Jasiek calmly endured the journey.

unexpected pit-stop


Monemvasia is amazing and worth visiting: the medieval village clinging to a restored rock. Since the land in general do not see anything, you have to work around a big rock right around, go through the only door to the very narrow bend in the middle - and it was only repealed Monemvasia hem of her mystery.


Monemvasia seen from the land: who would believe the bilges on the other hand lies the town, which once inhabited by tens of thousands of people?



here you can see the only entrance to the city



After passing through the gate we land in a completely different world: the narrow, cobbled streets , alleys, stairs, arches, tuneliki. Houses - as if time had stopped in the fifteenth century. Well, almost - Because the trained eye recognized the discreetly placed and cleverly disguised computer technology: satellite dishes, air conditioners. The whole town has an amazing atmosphere, it is very, very picturesque and you can go after him - and I digress, what is very easily - without end.












hungry, and therefore marudzący Jasiek wykurzył us a little faster than we wanted - after eating lunch Monemvasii outside the walls, we went in the direction Gythio.
Landscapes of the day we had a very varied: magnificent mountains and spaces, the sea, the inherent olive groves and orchards of orange - it was a very successful day.
to Gythio we managed to get a reasonable time, to quickly find as cheap and a nice little room (sorry, could not be said of the bathroom - but we managed to already get used to the bathroom with a limp rule here.)
Such is stretched the view from our balcony:


throughout Gythio hovered very appetizing smell of fried fish - as befits the port city. After a short walk, we decided that it smells very nice to smell so they just ignore it and although the lunch that day We ordered already - we will do an exception and will order a second time - this time something marine.



who octopus?
