Some background we have been in Gythion a while and Rhys' friend Nathan (shout out to Nathan) is over.

Yesterday me and my family (and Nathan who is visiting us) went on a school trip. In the car we drove from Gythion (the town we are at) to Mistras stopping at Spata for a quick coffee or in my case a cola break. It was v. hot yesterday as it is today so the car was baking. The drive took about 2 hours so I watched a few episode of how I met your mother and I played a few rounds of twilight quiz on my new phone.

After we stopped in Sparta and mum had brought new crocs and I founds the best new android book reader (and six books to go with it) we drove the little way left to the Byzantine town of Mistras.

We soon arrived after the steep up-hill drive that made me feel ill and we all went in (kids for free).

Mistras was lovely and it was great to see a Byzantine settlement after writing a long essay on the Byzantine empire for history. The buildings were built between the eleventh and the sixteenth century so some were reminiscent of Greek architecture today and some were more like bits of rock in a square shape. The churches and monasteries were similar to the churches we saw on the drive from Gythion. One of the monasteries was actually working and we could she the nuns apartments. There were lots of cats at that monastery that did not do much for my allergies and I already was not feeling to good but they were cute all the same.

We walked as high as we could then we opted to drive up the rest of the way and walk the last bit up but in the end we didn’t even do that we just went and got pizza instead! And man that pizza was GGGGOOOOOODDDDD! But it did make me feel bad on the journey home (or maybe that was all the ebook reading! Oopps!)

anyhow I had a good time best points being the sheep with bells on the pizza and when Nathan locked him self in the loo's! Lol!

Talk to you soon I am going to the caves of Diros tomorrow so I will blog about that later.
