Spinalonga III
And here we are. Remains of the first leprosarium building from 1905...
A jsme tady. Pozůstatky první budovy leprosária z roku 1905...
Opposite the hospital building is the torso of a house overlooking Mirabello Bay.
Naproti budově nemocnice je torzo domku s výhledem do zátoky Mirabello.
And here we have the second leprosarium building, it was practically identical to the first one. The buildings are inaccessible, they are currently being reconstruction.
A tady máme druhou budova leprosária, byla prakticky totožná s tou první. Budovy jsou nepřístupné, v současnosti probíhá jejich zajištění.
There is not much green on the island. All water had to be imported here and a rainwater catchment system with tanks near the harbor was also used.
Na ostrůvku není příliš zeleně. Veškerá voda sem musela být dovážena a také byl využíván záchytný systém dešťové vody s nádržemi nedaleko přístavu.
View of the azure sea. Where the stones are is clear.
Pohled na azurové moře. Kde jsou kameny, je průzračné.
We pass through the walls of the fortress.
Procházíme hradbami pevnosti.
We also look at one of the semicircular cannon bastions.
Prohlížíme si i jednu z půlkruhových dělových bašt.
And here we have her from the outside.
A tady jí máme z vnější strany.
And now we are at the furthest point from the harbor. We have about 600 meters to go.
A teď už se nacházíme na nejvzdálenějším bodě od přístavu. Zbývá nám ujít cca 600 metrů.
Interesting inscriptions, but in Greek.
Zajímavé nápisy, ovšem v řečtině.
And the way back to the port. There will be ice cream.
A cesta zpět do přístavu. Bude zmrzka.
But also a local cat, similar to our Filip. He lets himself be petted.
Ale taky místní čičí, podobná našemu Filipovi. Nechá se pohladit.
Cannon bastion at the highest point of the island. A place that unfortunately we will not be able to visit today.
Dělová bašta na nejvyšším bodě ostrova. Místo, které si dnes bohužel odpustíme navštívit.
And the port. Our ship is the small one on the right :)
A přístav. Naše loď je ta malá vpravo :)
The return trip by boat took a little longer due to strong headwinds.
We also visited the town of St. Mikuláš and then hopped to the hotel.
Night came.
Cesta zpět lodí trvala trochu déle vlivem silného protivětru.
Navštívili jsme ještě město Svatý Mikuláš a pak hupky dupky do hotelu.
Nastala noc.
The moon is too big and beautiful...
Měsíc je obrovský a nádherný...
The trip is over. And with it the penultimate day of our vacation in Crete. We enjoyed it very much. And with Terezka.
Výlet skončil. A s ním i předposlední den naší dovolené na Krétě. Hezky jsme si jí užili. I s Terezkou.
