more grande grotta

After linking a little further into Aegialis and redpointing DNA (Chloe led it! It will be a perfect project for her on our next trip) we sat back to watch Spiro on Zawinul Syndicate again. This time we almost got killed by stalagtites falling, so we moved out of the way.

The Greek guru who put up Aegialis was there again. I should mention that he looks a bit like a cave man: dark coriacious skin, shoulder length hair exposing a bald pate... and he yells a lot. He looks a little crazy. Anyway, I talked to him through his belya slave interpreter, and said "yeah I tried Aegialis, but its pretty f#@$ing hard". He got very agitated, started shaking his head and talking rapidly. I looked at his interpreter guy who got a pensive look on his face, and said "Yes, he was watching you on Aegialis, and he suggests that perhaps you should move more rapidly" in perfect english. It was a very funny juxtaposition. Its not fair, but I was expecting something more along the lines of "YOU NO STRONG. CLIMB LIKE BRONTOSAURUS. CLIMB LIKE MONKEY BETTER".

We cooked omelets for dinner which were a little nasty. At least there was a nice sunset:
