With the grandchildren, early this morning:
A pleasant walk - apart from two (potentially aggressive) barking sheepdogs and the proximity of a bear...I was in 'loco parentis' defensive and protective mode, unsure which might pose the greater threat, an unrestrained Molossian hound or a hungry bear! I learnt later that a bear was seen by Ilias the day before, at about the same time that we descended the gorge. The dogs were not interested in us: they were chasing the bear.
Ursus arctos (not a grizzly, as in this recording - Ursus arctos horribilis)
Play Dead? A Survival Myth
Although I'm not at all crazy about caves, I took the grandchildren to visit the Perama Cave. No photography allowed, except briefly, on the way out. A shame, because there are some amazingly impressive "halls" and formations. A relief, because a large number of flashing or clicking cameras would have spoiled the whole experience.
Gallery of photographs
In the cave they found the bones of a bear, which probably died about 50,000 years ago.
