greece the peloponnese and kythera october 07

athens was overcrowded and noisy





we were only there overnight before driving off to corinth, kalavryta and the old capital, nauplia.




here are the darlings dancing on our verandah


and one of only a stunning selection of views from the 14th century venetian castle, the palamidi.


mycenae's famous lion gate.
driving around the peninsula to crazy little towns, with churches and castles and squares full of the townspeople all having wierd festivals to deities and saints.

methoni, pylos, kalamata, mystra, sparti, gythio, then the ferry to kythera, ah, kapsali, beautiful, no tourists, the season finished on october 15, we arrived on 17th to be virtually the only anglos on the island apart from some american millionaires island hopping on their ocean going yacht before they trip back to jamaica!
we had the beaches and the remnant sun to ourselves and here's fotos to prove it.

backwards to october 07 - Rome, with out the chillen.

Ah, Roma. What a hoot! Food and history by moped! A tiny upsy downy flat and the Pope wouldn't see us, being too busy and all!
except now the whole upload download foto thing is not working! so back to square one and i have to go off and entertain the four year old before she dresses the cat!
next time.

waiting to be updated

umm... sorry for those waiting for more on where we went next, i have been lazy, no excuse. am now more or less ready [psychologically and physically] to enter our trips from october and november 07 [greece and rome] and our trek back to mellifluous melbourne.

meanwhile heres a picture of our kitten, she is six months old and has scoliosis in her spine, which is not painful but makes her walk sideways, which is actually really cute!
