Postcard from Mykines

 

From a hill near Mykines looking toward Argos. After the sun set there were flicking red lights along the top of the far hill; the turning blades or wind turbines making electricity to help keep all those lights burning.

Today they visited a cave (no suprise there, F seems to like caves). The evidence and common incidence of caves suggests that Greece is riddled with holes, and that's just the ones the humans know about.

The Cave of the Lakes at Kastria.


 
The postcard said there was more snow and ice but it was melting away in the sunshine.

And some views that came with my postcard:

Tennis ball sized 'fruit' lurking on a roadside - under a tree which thay jad, presumably,  fallen off. F pulled one apart and reported they don't look edible. (Well I could have told her that.) We don't know what they are though.

Who you lookin' at?

Memorial at Kalavryta.

    That fruit is MACLURA POMIFERA aka Osage Orange. Mr T, I think F and Mr B might be having a fine break away by the looks of these pictures from your postcard!!! Hugs and whiskeries, YAM-aunty xxx

      Looks like a mini bread fruit (they give off sticky glue when they aren't ripe, but they are much bigger)... Anyway now we know what it is.

    Another great journey. I wonder what on earth those fruit are.
    The Hellinikon pyramid is near, sort of , Mykenes. You going to have a look?
    Nice to see snow at Kalavryta. Our kids are going skiing there soon

      Thanks for the tip. We had planned to go back to Epidavros with our guests, but as we have been before, and they haven't left UK we are looking for some new thing to put into Wednesday.

      The snow was looking good already on the tops above Kalavryta

    That dog is doing a great job of looking after the sheep I had to look twice to find it

      F didn't know he was there until she looked at the picture later. It was taken from a moving car.
