Ένα υπέροχο Σαββατοκύριακο το τελευταίο του Μάϊου, με αναρρίχηση στα Μετέωρα με φίλους από την Ελληνική Ομάδα Διάσωσης από το Βόλο, την Κοζάνη και τη Θεσσαλονίκη. Δυστυχώς, μόνο 3 από εμάς φτάσαμε στην κορυφή την Κυριακή, επειδή οι υποχρεώσεις έκαναν τους περισσότερους από αυτούς να αποχωρήσουν από το βράδυ του Σαββάτου, αλλά και πάλι ήταν μια καταπληκτική εμπειρία! Πρώτη κορυφή... αλλά σίγουρα όχι η τελευταία!! A wonderful weekend the last of May, with rock climbing at Meteora with friends from Hellenic Rescue Team from Volos, Kozani and Thessaloniki. Unfortunately, only 3 of us made it to the top on Sunday, because obligations made most of them to leave by Saturday night but still it was an amazing experience! First climbing peak...but definitely not the last!! @PEPERONI_PEP @_GEORGIAFASOULA @PANAGIOTA_KOUKIDOU @ELLEN_PRINTZ @_vmvk.g @gatassakis @kroutsefupprin4 Βαγγελης Βαμβακάς, Γεράσιμος Λυκούδης #travel #greece #kalampaka #kastraki #meteora #mountains #nature #adventure #passion #rock #climbing #rockclimbing #climber #trekking #mountaineering #training ##landscape #picoftheday #photographer #instagram #facebook #twitter #tumblr #volos_photographers #discovermeteora #placesingreece #discover_peliongr #click4amemory #hellenicrescueteam (at Meteora) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cfe1v-RjYfZPGYIVpUgWVQv7G4I2NA_7hFLPpg0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

In Flux at Geological History Museum, Kastraki, Greece

A Ribbon Shaped Beam

Colour pencil on paper 100x70cm

Dipping Limb of the Fold

Marble prints on reference books, elastic bands, dimensions variable - individual works grouped and installed as unique adaption to the architectural structure of specific exhibition space

Concentric expanding lines of ink applied slowly and delicately to the surface of the water printed onto the rolled edge of a book’s many layers of paper - the image held in place in impermanent tension with elastic — layers of lines growing slowly ~ writing time in the rocks, in the wood’s grain, in the book, in the drawing, on the surface of the water ~ all in flux

Exhibition following month long residency in Meteora alongside Kate Daudy and Paloma Proudfoot organised by Ainalaiyn Space, London

Day 7-8 - Volos and Mykonos

The next morning saw us back in Greece north of Athens in Volos, which is in Thessaloniki, a couple hours north of Athens. Today’s tour headed for the Meteora Monastary, a 2 hour bus ride inland from the coast. Our tour guide was a lively chap, and gave us some history of the area as we drove. It’s mostly gently rolling farmland, until you start to approach the “rock forest” - truly enormous rock outcroppings in the mountains that rise rather sharply above the plains. We stopped by a gift shop on the side of the road ahead of two other buses for a restroom break and the obligatory option to buy more trinkets.

Here the monks centuries ago chose to build their monasteries. At fist, they climbed the rocks, until they built cranes on the sides of the monastery. Two monks would wind a beam with a rope around it, raising a monk or supplies up the 80-100 feet (at this location - higher at others) to the monastery. At least one visiting bishop asked (in the 1600s) how often it was repaired/maintained; the answer was simply “when it breaks”. It was, perhaps, a matter of faith.

After the bus climbed the winding road - meeting another bus coming the other way was a little cozier than I’d hoped - we arrived at the first monastery. This one was pretty large, with a couple levels to it. The walk up wound round a footpath wound close to the edge of the cliff, then up some steep, switchbacking stairs that pop you out to a plaza with an impressive view. Really, everything here is close to a cliff, and reminds me of a similarly located monastery we visited in Montserrat, outside Barcelona. Impressive views are pretty much everywhere up there.

The guide took us through an entryway into a room with a guided roof and several paintings. Along the way was a bell that was donked to raise the monks in the morning, and a large wooden board that was bonked to signify prayer. The guide donked and bonked both in turn. We got a closer look at the drop the monk-crane ascended, this time from the top, and a 12,000L barrel the monks had constructed for rainwater, rather than wine, as the tour guide had jokingly first suggested. While some of the rooms of the monastery were pretty sparse, the chapels at each were covered in exquisite paintings depicting various stories from the Christian Bible. As many parishioners and pilgrims might be illiterate, this graphical depiction was used as a teaching tool.

The bus visited two more monasteries across the tops of these mountains. The smallest included a rather stern nun (so I guess this one was a convent rather than a monastery) who kept trying to hurry every one along. She did, however, give our guide time to perform one of the chants recorded in a huge book of unknown age still in use. It was a bit of a surreal experience, hearing the otherwise chatty guide somberly chanting in the monastery on a cliff. In addition to building sturdy churches in hard to reach places, the architects had a knack for acoustics.

We stopped a couple places on the way back from some truly amazing panoramas, with the bus eventually stopping below the mountain for dinner at a restaurant in Kastraki that had a lovely view of both the town and the mountain from which we’d just descended. We chatted with a delightful Dutch couple over dinner, sneaking a pitcher swap with another table who’d not cared to attend to their carafe of rosé. As we passed more carved out spots I the mountains, the guide noted a high cave apparently used for a prison, although those inmates were folks considered apostates rather than more secular criminals, left there without a ladder down to further consider their faith.

We returned to the port after dark and only a few minutes behind schedule, where the bus driver directed us to another bus, who drove us a somewhat comical 150 feet around a building to the gangway. Returned to the boat, we headed to bed. Tomorrow, Mykonos!

The morning started docked at the island of Mykonos moderately early with breakfast, a walk down the gangway, and a 2€ SeaBus ride into Mykonos City. The island do Mykonos is renown for a party atmosphere and stellar beaches. Our stay, however, was scheduled to end before the nightlife gets started, so we at least worse swimsuits in case the opportunity presented itself. We wandered around the city for a while, replacing Alex’s misplaced sunglasses (his backup pair currently worn by Allie, whose original sunglasses had broken). We mapped a likely beach, grabbed a couple beers from a small shop, and went to the beach via a path that went past a few windmills and one bored looking donkey draped in flowers.

Once at the beach, we located one of the few shaded spots, where Alex hung up his shirt to dry, as the weather was warming quickly. Lauren opted for a swim, while Allie stayed in the safety of the shade. On the way out of the water, Lauren managed to cut her foot open. Alex found some bandaids at a nearby shop, then decided to try for a swim …. returning shortly thereafter with a “Guys, you’re not going to believe this …” The census was, however, that he’d probably stepped on a urchin sliding around on the rocks that sat under the waist deep water, rather than slicing his foot on another. No fun being an urchin hat.

Undeterred by the various foot injuries, we elected to find the brewery on Mykonos after a seaside lunch. The brewery, it turns out, was a 30 minute walk almost perpendicular to the shore, straight up the side of the island. It did, however, have some fans and was delightfully shaded indoors. We sampled a flight, then began the trek back down, stopped by another beach with no additional foot injuries, and caught another SeaBus back to the port and the ship.

A light dinner later, we caught an exquisite sunset with lovely shades of oranges and blues from a few decks above our room, with a startling strip of green just above the horizon. Once darkness fully arrived, we went off to bed early once more.

Cheers,

A & A
