28. 7. - Knossos

Today we ride to Knossos - one of the most famous historic places in the world! Sir Arthur Evans discovered it and made Knossos visible for millions of visitors. Though we come early in the morning, the onstorm is hugh! Behind each column you can see a red or orange cap! In each shadow asiatic people listen to their leaders. A very long snake always stands in front of the entrance to the throne hall with the chair of justice, though the heat was terrible - 32 degrees C! After making the typical pictures for our sponsor MANNER, we stroll through the scenery and think of the King Minos, the Minotaurus, Ikarus and other birds. In the pinetrees crouch the cicadas and cried like bulls (Minotaurus?).
Afterwards we visit the room with the bulljumpers, but the room is so overcrowded, that we look for the width.
I sweat like a pig and my friends too, so we leave the site after 2 hours and throw us a beer into the veins - or a second one - in a taverna on the other side of the throughwalkstreet.
We decide, to visit a wine village only one half hour away.

Every day: We see the sunrise
