We spent the second of our two days in Greece headed out to Meteora. Or Kalabaka and the surrounding geology. It was a full three hour trip each way, but it looked to dramatic to pass up. Here's the illustrated tourist map posted outside the train station.
We headed straight north out of town into the dramatic looking hills/mountains/pillars.
I'm not much of a hiker, and it was a bit of a climb getting up to the monasteries. As in, the tops of those rock formations in the pictures above! But the scenery kept me going.
David was mostly taking the epic pictures from the top, but I grabbed a few:
In fact, most of my time at the top was spent drinking water and taking pictures of David taking pictures. He was excited about the camera.
On the way down, we encountered both cows and goats. Those inspired selfies.
And, a man on a motorbike informed us that his mother would make us the best food we'd ever eaten just 500 m down the road. We passed on that opportunity, but I did grab a picture of the sign.
And our google maps route down the mountain ended in a muddy slog across some grazing land - I don't even know how it happened, but it was scenic.
And that's Greece! :-)
