Just bizarre formations, apparently the pinnacles were carved 60 million years ago! By glaciers maybe?

Some great advice
The greatest aspect of this trip has been its flexibility. When I meet travelers, they always give me advice, and because I have very few concrete plans I can actually take their advice! The Australian, Simone, over dinner in Thessaloniki gave me the greatest advice which was to visit Meteora on my way down to Athens. It was definitely out of the way, but I don't really have a designated 'way' so therefore everything is on the way. Meteora consists of six monasteries on the sandstone rock pillars above Kalambaka. I stayed at a hostel for one night in Kalambaka and spent the evening there hiking from one monastery to another, and then finally trekking down and back to town. It sounds extreme but it wasn't at all, it was accessible and easy. I can't really describe the monasteries so I will just resort to posting photos.
