Its trip day again today!
We went to Dikteon Cave, Elouda, and St. Nicolas
My favorite of the three (all though all of the places were beautiful) was the Cave.
This cave is said to be the birthplace of Zeus and where he was kept hidden from his father Kronos who wanted to eat the child. The myth suggests that the cretan dances and music we can still see today were developed as a way to drown out the cries of baby Zeus.
The cave is situated high in the mountain so its quite a hike to get up to it. Once you reach the top you are hot and sweaty.....luckily the cave is really nice and cool ( in both senses of the term)
pictures are worth a thousand words so heres a few to say what I just can't do justice in words:
Here you can see how deep this cave is!
There were formations and stalagmites and stalactites everywhere!
These ones kind of looked like faces!
Overall this was the coolest of all the stops!!
