After a peaceful night we went to have a look at some stone bridges near Kipi.
We then drove out to the end of the road to Vradeto and went for a pleasant walk out to another lookout to Vikos Gorge.

From here we had to return via Kipi and we took the road less travelled to Miliotades. Mark had to concentrate as some parts of the road had been washed out and collapsed.
Got worried here that we wouldn’t be able to cross...
We then took the scenic route past Metsovo and stopped for lunch at an abandoned ski resort. Our GPS then took us along a road towards Panagia that had a warning sign “enter at your own risk”! It didn’t take us long to figure out why with parts of the road missing, but most of it was passable. As we exited the road there was a STOP and oneway sign going the other way.
From here on we were on the road the Meteora, recognisable by the increase in traffic. We drove through Kalampaka which is at the foot of the Meteora area, which has a beautiful rock formations.
On these hill like rounded boulders there are 6 (of the original 24) Eastern Orthodox monasteries, each with their own story, built during the 14th to 16th century. We followed the road and stopped to admire the breathtaking landscape.
As it was too late in the day to visit the monasteries we made our way to Guesthouse Arenis, where parking is free but you need to have dinner.
At 7pm we ventured down to the dinning room and enjoyed a kebab and sausage with all the usual trimmings, along with other guests (we were the only motorhomers).
Then it was back to Bluey for another peaceful night.
