2001. June 24. - The Cruise - Patmos

We are at the saint island of Patmos. On top of the hill: Monastery of St. John.	We had to leave our ship on a small boat.	Jon smiling on the small boat that carried us to the shore.	Karl doing the same.	From the left, Chris, Brenda, Jon and Karl.	Looking back at our ship.
Looking forward to the city of Skála.	At the port.	We are up at the Holy Cave of the Apocalypse.	There's a church on top of it.	This church.	Entrance to the cave. Sorry, no pictures were allowed inside.
Walking back from the cave.	Still at the cave.	Or rather, at the church that's on top of it.	Narrow streets lead up the hill.	Okay, so they are not that narrow...	Except here.
Yet again, what a view! To the left: Skála, to the right: our ship.	Notice the mist just above the water.	Monastery of St. John.	Looking down, city of Skála below.	More of this wonderful view.	Entering the monastery.
The courtyard of the monastery.	Churchbells.	Churchbells.	A nicely carved wooden door.	Paintings on the ceiling.	The first ever Starbucks - in the old times, monks offered coffee and refreshments for the pilgrims here.
The remains of the monastery's founder are in this urn.	Chapel of John the Baptist.	Just enjoy the view.	Now we are walking down towards our bus.	View of Skála from the bus.	At the port.
Streets of Skála.	Karl and me on the boat again.	Last look back from the boat.	What is this military ship doing here???	Random ship in the port.	Our little ferry boat.
Brenda, Jon and Chris.	That's our ship.	A hydrofoil.	At our ship.	The monastery as we are leaving.	Another ship.
Looking at Patmos thru the lifeboats.	Karl sleeping again - no surprises here.	Yes, definitely sleeping.
