My trip to the Peloponnese (4)- Ligourio

So just after finishing the tour of Mycenae we headed for Epidavros.
On the way we were admiring thousands of orange trees full of fruit.

And all of a sudden we passed in front of a Trojan Horse decorating an antique store! We had no time to stop though!

We moved on and we passed a small town called Ligourio and having done my study of its history and sights I decided I would love to visit its Natural History Museum, as I love visiting this type of museums.
Imagine how great I felt when we found it immediately as it was on the road entering the town.It is a small private museum that has amazing collections of ammonites and minerals.

 Fossilized shells

 and fossilized fish.

 A turtle head.

 Shark teeth.

 And lovely minerals.

 Look at those colours!

And hubby's mineral collage.

Hubbie's favourite mineral is tiger eye so he bought me a bracelet made out of tiger eye beads.(Not pictured)

Also insects and butterflies.

And lots of shells.

My favourite ammonite was this one found at the area which had amazing various colourful minerals inside it.

I had to buy a small ammonite. Not a local one. This one is from Madagascar and it is from the Jurasic period (208-152.000.000 years ago) Isn't its age unbelievable?

(Don't mind some photos that are sideways, I couldn't manage to turn them correctly for some reason!)

The kindness of people(2)

I met John and Juliana on the sea glass sites that I follow. They love Greece and visit here often. They happened to choose a village in Chalkidiki in their previous visit here and as they were near Thessaloniki we arranged to meet.
It was great meeting some more sea glass friends! We had lunch together and spent some time sea glassing but did not really find much. They were so kind to bring me sea glass and other gifts from Scotland and they also sent me a parcel recently to thank me for our meeting again! This is so very very kind.
Here is what the parcel included.

 A vintage little glass saucer with the symbol of Scotland on it,the thistle.

 A birthday notebook.

 With lovely pictures in it.

 A fantastic Antler bag in a ruby red colour which I have been using ever since at school as it is the right size and shape for my things.Lots of beautiful cards and bookmarks.

 I especially loved this card where sea glass and little shells are used for this mosaic.

 The parcel included some lovely sea glass in colours I don't find here like pink !

 I loved those pottery pieces which remind me of the four seasons!

 I adored the marbles as I never find them here!They are in great colours too!

 Lovely shells,too!

Thank you so very much dear friends. I hope we will meet again!
