19 November 2023 Vouliagmeni: After a Few Days of Hanging Out, a Hike

 


We took a few days to just relax.  Travel planning, shopping and wash took up some time of that time.  Reading, movies and cooking took up more of that time. We discovered a great supermarket AB up at the end of the line for the metro.  We jumped into a taxi and drove up there on our rainy Saturday  Walking around town when it was nice and relaxing while it rained outside took up the rest.   The sun was out today so I hit the trail that I discovered last week.   I walked to the municipal cemetery while Leslie danced the Zumba.  The cemetery was nicely kept up and had some real extravagant graves.  Not such a great birding event but great to get out and stretch the legs.


Home for wildlife?


Getting up in the altitude


Scrub land 


Looking back tot he south


I found a road!


Sail boats are back out in the bay


Love the blue water


The chapel at the cemetery


Nice belltower


Is there an undead that has escaped?


The folks are tightly packed 


Every grave is kept up nicely


Bigger crypts along this walkway


Pine trees are growing in the cemetery 


A marble statue


Folks climbing on a water tank 


The water tank is up on the ridge


Not sure what to make of this, older markers or markers getting some maintenance 


A glass door with a mirrored cross inside


Humber gate to a crypt


An entire Egyptian theme, sphynx, pyramid and obelisk 



Still growing


A half round crypt


An ode to Great Britain, "this blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England"


The gate tot he belltower


A tree eating bush


Rows of cypress heading down hill


Bougainvillea 


I was lucky to escape the apex ambush predator


Sliver me timbers


My zoom is still working fine


Rocking robin


Singing his lovely song


Yet another magnificent sunset


Liquid gold


Goodnight Greece


Till tomorrow
