Farewell to Mystra



We took a taxi from Sparta to get here, they call it the archaeological museum of Mystra. At 3pm we were driven out. The park closes at 3pm in winter. Now how are we to get back to Sparta. Since we didn't come on the bus, we didn't know where we'll catch it on the way back. The village butts against the bottom of Mystra and there was a restaurant and a souvenir shop at the bottom. We went in, bought a few postcards and the nice owner called a taxi for us. This was the view from the bottom of the hill. It's so lovely, it must be nice to live down here and look up at the stones of Mystra.
The next day or two we took the bus from Sparta to Kalamata and the bus passed Mystra and we could see the whole panorama from the road. It was magical.
