Feeling a bit chipper today.
A monumental church perched on top of a cliff. looms over our beach and site.
We strike out to explore. The church was only built in the 60s as a shrine to a miraculous Byzantine black Madonna. Nauseatingly kitsch, a strong stomach required to explore but with a huge local following. Along the line of trinket stalls we find the ancient ruins of Tyndaris.
Rambled and scrambled all over the site. Had a great time exploring, wild flowers everywhere and stunning views along the coast. Back to the camp and onto the beach for a refreshing swim and a bit of sunbathing.
OK - having problems posting my comments again. Last pearls of wisdom lost forever!
ReplyDeleteJust to say, back from Sunny Granada(and I loved it) and will respond properly soon. Just packing bags to head up to MK (car less as much fun and games are being had at Old Stratford Motors with spare parts from Citroen France! So it's the train for me!)
It was hot when we left yesterday (35 degrees) so thought of poor Molly in the heat, but glad to see that she is not looking too distressed in the photos!
Lots of love for the moment.
Hilary
