Meteora rocks !:P

Well, Here is one of the most impressive places I had ever seen in my life.
The pictures can't impress you as being in the place yourself.

Meteora is a place in Greece, in the small city of Kalambaka. James Bond also performed on the Rocks of Meteora. From up view you can see the city of Kalambaka dispersed like lego pieces.

The place has 6 monasteries, were we can visit 5. We had only time to visit 4 (one full day). Inside they are nothing especial, and its better to look outside :P. To get in you pay 2 euros and you have to wear a long skirt.

There are people whom currently live there.

One of the rocks has "caves" inside. You can see some holes from outside, and you can go there.. We didnt because we hadn´t time. There is also a very big "hole" inside one of the giant rocks, wich leads you "inside" it. Amazing. You have to take the forest path to get there. But once again, we hadn´t time :( MAybe it means I have to come back to see what remains :)

The hard thing was to walk up to the next monasteries. It was very hot and we were very tired from a night non-sleep on the train. We took some lift with some tourists from United States, that kindly drove us to the furthest but biggest monastery.

After this trip, we went sunday to Voulus (another city in Greece) and the beach side in Afissios.
Actually we regret that we hadn´t stayed one more day in Meteora.
Place were giant bizarre rocks are taking your breath away!!! Ever step you give, there is another wonderful and different point of view. Very exciting for taking pictures :) You feel so small, you feel in a epic movie or you doubt if you are still in planet Earth. Worth Going there before you die!!
