Walking in the dark by streams

End of the school's holiday at McLaren's Falls.
Torch lamp, glow worm and rock hopping.

Had to go get a blanket though...

Seen in churches

Guess where #4

Back in Basilicata, our last Unesco site...
Have to confess that when we aprked the car, none of the follwoing was visible and I was a little dismayed...


People here have carved their homes and built the second largest water cistern in the world (holding a staggering 5 million cm3)
People lived here until very recently through the hardship of no running water supply.

Guess where #3

Most of the findings have been transferred to Florence, but this cave present unique association of engraving and tombs where 3*two people were found in deep embrace (6 couples in total were found, on child). Which was rare back then. From memory dating range from 17000 to 1100 BC. The area was a trading post for obsidian. And has been inhabited since.
It was only recognised and dug after the 1961.
It is located in Calabria county.
