What Does Itchy Nose Mean Myth

7 January Gythio - Mystras - Zacharo

day started nice - but then it was worse.

We moved in the direction of Sparta today - namely away from her a few kilometers of the Byzantine Mistry. Mistra his time was a city of great importance, several emperors were crowned here Byzantine - Now you can admire the ruins of the castle, picturesque ruins and beautiful frescoes on the walls of monasteries.

drove through the mountains Tajgeta - snow-capped peaks, even though they were about 2500 m above sea level - due to the fact that grew near the sea - the impression of a much higher. They looked impressive.

SLR She fell to us - we knew that this day would ever happen, because I forgot to bring the charger. Today the battery is stated that it is definitely "empty". Too bad - but we still had a second camera. Not too long: when visiting Mistry, the camera slipped from my hand and fell on the rocks. Stopped working. The only device capable of taking pictures that we have - is a cell Tibor. Rydz better than nothing - but the mood we sit, definitely.

Lodgings looking for driving the west coast of the Peloponnese - and somehow not very tourist everything looked. In the evening it turned out that we have a problem with finding accommodation - a real problem: either all closed for four shoulder buttons, no nothing abo. In one hotel in Zacharo Tibor was treated very nice by the service: all were sweet as honey to the moment when they heard how much my husband is willing to pay for accommodation: manager in one hand said goodbye to the other in the same time, Tibor unceremoniously pushed out the door. ..

Finally zanocowaliśmy at the town - after negotiation room cost us 50 euros - the most expensive around the exit

Stretch Marks St Ives

January 10 - again in Athens, Delphi

Since yesterday we are back in Athens - the use of hospitality Nanda and her husband, Theo.

Yesterday, the latest projection on the tape before returning to Athens yet visited Mycenae and Nemea.

Mycenae - Well ... The truth is that watching a pile of stones. Large impressive gates with carved over its entrance lions - but the rest requires a lot of imagination. Not deny that this is definitely a place of great importance - but more of an impression made on me so Olimpia. Tibor says it's because you left Mycenae at the end, when the monuments, the ancient and the newer naoglądaliśmy the bunches. Probably has a little wrong.

In Nemea, due to the near cessation of excavations (in the winter, all were open only to 15) - we had to choose : enter the stadium or watch Zeus temple ruins and a bath plus a museum. We chose the latter. On site you can see that further excavations in progress - the trees looked funny: the whole area as a result of exploration and excavation have fallen - but circles around trees left untouched land. You can see through it was that was taken off safely from the meter of the earth.

Nemea

Auto we only have until tomorrow - so we use as long as possible: objeżdżaliśmy Attica today: we were in Marathon, we ate a delicious lunch in the port town of Rafina. This dinner was pyszniejszy that, as befitted the port, tavernas specialize in a variety of dishes from fish and seafood. Ordered future course was bought up to date on the stands located next to the pubs, shown to the customer and after approval trafiało to the kitchen in order to further processing. My skusiliśmy the fried squid and sardines. I was afraid to respond to these dishes boys - but we both ate until they were trembling ears:)

Rafina - we took a a break to collect pebbles

who fish! whom octopus!

finished the day at Cape Saunion the ruins of the Temple of Poseidon watch the sunset.

The guide I read that one of the columns Byron carved his signature - yes, the poet.

Tibor said that it unfair: if he did, it would clamor that the vandal. And how did Byron - immediately write about it in the guide.

Sample First Death Anniversay Invitations

Zacharo - Olimpia - Bass - Andritsaina - Megalopoli

half day trip - is slowly heading in the direction of Athens - but not yet we wanted to see the cradle of the Olympic Games: Olimpia.

Before we entered the excavation site, pokręciliśmy a little after the town (a little OT: marking the road to Olympia fatal. I mean everything is ok, until I pass the mark of the village - and this one came to the conclusion that characters are no longer needed. Effect: of course we turned in this way is not what you need). We did a little grocery shopping - including bread. Why do I mention the bread? Because we got to the REAL bakeries: one in which we could see the back like a blast furnace is taken out loaves of a wooden shovel, and sells bread, white guy with his hands from flour. Of course freshest bread, still warm.

excavation area - traditionally the columns, the ruins - but the most impressive stadium. Original Olympic stadium, where thousands of years ago athletes were fighting with each other and their failings. We arranged a family after it runs:).

these columns earthquake destroyed

the place ... (Jasiek got a head start:)

there was little drama, because I really wanted to win Wiktorek and could not get over that Daddy was the first;)

From Olympia, we went to Bass - I read in the guide that is góach Temple of Apollo - one of the best preserved in Greece. Riding on the place was embellished with magnificent views. At some point, noted that the road passed under the trees are strange - so dark and dry. A few moments later I realized that we are watching the effects of fires, the guys which digested the Peloponnese a few years ago. Grass, small bushes - have managed to grow and covered the all the greenery - but for them, for many, many miles, as the eye could see to the horizon we could see burnt stumps of trees.

unfortunately cell is more suitable to talk;) and the stumps of trees stretching to the horizon gone bad

The temple itself - really good preserved - but it can not be viewed in all its glory, because it is a huge enclosed tent. There is no case of money for its reconstruction and security - so if it protects a huge tent.

we pulled into town Andritsainy: picturesque, at this time of year, almost completely empty. The grocery store did a little shopping - of course, aroused the curiosity of the owner: the password from the place reminded Poland: aaaa, Wales! At the end of shopping guys got to him candy, and we will try some Greek specialty: it was a kind of jelly, richly-winning sugar - rose-flavored icing. It was not bad - but I ate better in my life sweet;)

After a short walk we went in the direction of Megalopolis - when we decided to look for accommodation. The next day we had to meet with a familiar friend in whom initially had to spend the night.

The area through which we drove was not as picturesque as przyzwyczaliliśmy in the last days. Numerous orchards have disappeared somewhere in the orange and olive groves. We passed a lot of bare trees, reminding us that this is one is winter. The areas that we passed looked ugly and vaguely. The city itself - that was also Megalopolis: dirty, neglected, passed shops evoked associations with the PRL. The only thing that wybijało a plus - it's cake. And not just in Megalopolis - a phenomenon seen in other places: in the most godforsaken hole, if it was open cake - it was the prettiest, most colorful and well-kept shop in the area.

found the hotel was quite cheap - but the time it stopped in the 60s, when it opened. Toilets and showers were in the hallway - do not look at i. .. we decided that that day is not going to bathe.
