Flowers and Simonospetras
Plan of the monastery. We arrived from Grigoriou. The first we wil see today, on the South side of the monastery, are not on this plan (aswell as the new guesthouse outside the monastery on the North side).
Simonospetras – entrance from the South
Simonospetras – the last meters before the aquaduct, with a few buildings on the right (not shown on the plan).
Looking down at the steep cliffs and gardens.
The aquaduct, seen from the South
The main entrance doors – 2009
The same spot 20 years ago in 1989. It looked much darker then ….
A badly damaged wall painting above the entrance to the monastery, with a Christmas scene and fine blue colors.
The aquaduct seen from the North
The new guesthouse outside the monastery walls, along the road to Dafni.

Bas, van die laatste foto wordt gezegd dat de schedels en botten in het kistje erin gefotoshopt zijn omdat het deksel niet dicht kan
Bas, de links naar de diashow en zijn eigen website werken niet
Bas,
der Link darf nicht http://http//www.travisdove.com/ so aussehen, sondern muss: http://www.travisdove.com heissen.
