Jogging in the Park

An October morning in Central Park

We were driving in the city known by the nickname "Big Apple", and a morning at the hotel should begin at this famous park.

Fresh atmosphere around me, some people have run ahead of me, though at first it was eerie, somehow, the first time here, I imagine some of the films of this park, maybe some worries.


However, the morning was pleasant and I make time to walk toward the road next to buildings, there may be a café down the road.

Monemvasia, something from behind a rock

Hidden city behind the rocky reefs

It looks like a rock sticking out of the blue ocean, off the east coast of the Peloponnese, we are trying to achieve from a previous trip around Sparta.

You will find a bridge, very long indeed, from here we followed it. A graceful rocky island about 300 square meters land area, towering into the sky, from behind you will find a city.


The beautiful town, the old town from the 6th century, the church became the dominant scenery.
