Monday 6 May (Day 13)
Spoke to Irene this morning who said that she had got it
wrong and the Greek dancing was tonight.
She more than made up for her mistake by bringing us fresh eggs from her
chickens. After a late breakfast we went
on a walk to the town of Chora (6km away up a long hill) to visit the Monastery
of the Apocalypse. During the walk up we
kept an eye out for any horsemen but none were to be seen. When our long climb was over we discovered
that the monastery shut at 1:30pm. Never
mind, the views were worth it.
Half way up was the convent of the apocalypse (also shut)
We walked up there!
We went to the town square in the evening and watched the
local children performing their traditional dance. The mayor gave a speech beforehand, we didn’t
understand a word of it but it didn’t matter because he gave out cake to
everyone who listened.
