METEORA
On the 2nd of March Synthia and I took a motorcycle trip to the town of Meteora. This area is known for the monasteries situated on top of some unusual rock formations. After a great meal in a local restaurant we headed into the mountains to one of the larger monasteries. The weather was cool but manageable.

The inside of the main inside the church of the monastery we visited.

This mural was on the outside wall prior to entering the main area of the church.

The ossuary was one of the rooms that we came across during our tour. There was no explanation of whose bones these were. |
The ossuary wasn't very large. This is a view of the right wall.

This was one of the other monasteries on a rock formation further away. |
This was the best picture to illustrate the extraordinary rock formations and how the monasteries we built on top of them. We came across this monastery in route to the larger one that we visited. |
