view from above






It was so windy. We didn't feel safe because the climb was so steep but so beautiful. The view of the village below is so gorgeous and the sea, a perfect turquoise. High above are the old fortifications, now in ruins. Here above the village the old city of Monemvasia lie in ruins. There were piles of stones which were once a building everywhere. It can a whole day just to pore over every pile of stones but we didn't have that kind of time. We lost an hour trying to connect with the right bus. We did the best we could, taking pictures quickly and seeing most of everything. The guidebooks recommend staying the night but again we didn't have that kind of time. Soon we need to hurry down in order to catch the last bus back to Sparta....
