Monday's
exploring went to Kroustas and on towards Prina. Eventually, and much
later than expected, the road deteriorated, and I parked and
continued on foot, as the insurance doesn't cover damage to the car when driving on dirt roads.
Where
the asphalt began again we took off on a dirt track up a hill.
At
the top was a sheepfold, shepherd's hut and garden, which were
obviously deserted for the winter.
Just
beyond these I found the most amazing cliff on which to sit. It had a
sheer drop I don't know how far, but it must have been several
hundred meters.
This is the cliff top on which I sat. |
A
pair of ravens flew up from the rocks as we approached. An eagle, or
large hawk could also be seen soaring overhead – or rather below.
From where I sat I could see these cliffs where the ravens had their home. |
From
this rock I could look out over the valley, and also out to sea. It
was the most amazing top-of-the-world feeling.
The
first drops began falling as I started back toward the car, and I
only got a little wet. As I entered Kritsa however a veritable
downpour began, turning the lanes into rivers. Unfortunatly I didn't take any pictures. It was really amazing!
