Day 7 - Greece

Up at 2am to drive to Prilep. We hired a driver with a van to take us to Greece which is only half an hour away. Crossing borders can be interesting particularly from Macedonia to Greece as there are very ill feelings between the two. Greece possesses some of Macedonian land which they were meant to return last year. The border police had to be bribed (10 Euros) to let us through.

We drove to Meteora (Kalampaka) where nine monasteries perch more than a thousand metres high on large rock formations. We visited one called Varlaam (Agioi Pantes). It's amazing how they were ever built. Small carts attached by ropes are used to pull goods up to the monastery. 

We then visited some waterfalls that continually run and were you can walk behind them. Finn experimented with his camera so he could catch the moving flow of the water - he did very well.

We returned at 11pm so a huge day but very enjoyable. I think we deserve a rest day tomorrow.
