A trip to the caves today, just a short drive or a short hike away. Walking through the old oak forest into the cool caves was a treat that we should do more often.

A lovely surprise, to meet these two ladies in Old Perithia over the garden fence. Two Aussie ladies cycling from London to Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. To support a children’s homeless shelter in Ulaanbaatar that they have operated for the past 30 years. What an amazing adventure, challenge and charity.

If their challenge touches you in a little way I am sure they would appreciate your support.
