På kreta er det 2000 utfoskede huler. Jeg har besøk 2 stykker som var en stor opplevels og som har sin historie. Først besøkte vi Dikte-hulen som er Zeus fødested. Zeus var gudenes konge og var sønn av Rhea og Kronos. En utroli spennene hule men søyler av stalamitter.
Grotten ligger ikke så langt fra Psykhro som ligger opp på lasithi sletten.
For noen ble det bratt å gå så da er det fint og kunne bli fraktet på esel. Siste biten må en gå selv. I denne hulen er også funnet brongsjeskjold fra 700 f.kr.
På turen opp til inngangen av hulen var det nydelig utsikt over Lasithi sletten.

www.janpetrus.no: - Provence er en reise værdt. Bak Middelhavet, kystbyene, jetsetlivet og kjendisstedene som sluker deg med sine mange tilbud, champagne og Cote Azur, ligger Frankrikes motstykke til Italias Toscana, med sine pidjetrær, vinmarker og vakre landsbyer.

En liten gruppe Ringerikinger tok en rask vestlandstur for å delta i 70 årsfeiring og jammen rakk vi innom mange steder på vår raske tur.
Første stopp i krødsherad hos Hanne Høne. Her ble det vinsmaking.
Neste stopp ble i Gol med besøk hos Skinnfellmakeren.
I full fart over fjellet med sjåfør Leif Skagnæs og før vi visste ordet av det var vi fremme ved stavkirken i Borgund.

www.janpetrus.no – ”Der ingen kunne tru at nokon skulle bu” finner du klyngetunet Otternes, på veien fra Aurland til Flåm. En smal kjerrevei fører oppover og oppover til en liten parkeringsplass, og så er du der. Her har folk levd og elsket, jobbet og bygd siden 1700-tallet og helt fram til 1980,da Eilert – en av de siste siste otternesere, flyttet på sykehjem.

TRAVEL / MYBESTJOURNEYS: www.janpetrus.no - Holy places are characterized by a special spirituality and a different energy, which can hardly be measured, but still experienced. For my own part, I have always been attracted to such places, and will for the rest of my life remember: Jeruasalem in Israel and Assisi in Italy and now in Krakow in Poland. - The city is characterized by its unique history from the 1100s through to its position as Poland's cultural capital. Important fragments of city architecture and atmosphere of the Jewish Kazimiersz - district dates back to the 1400s, and its more than 200 churches of all sizes and in all "order" trends in the Catholic Church.

VISITORS and tourists will naturally seek out many of its churches and monasteries. Just as surely, most people will be surprised over the intensity, the atmosphere and the vibrant life for many of them. Even in the largest and most visited: St. Mary's Church, which is also the city's Cathedral in Gothic style, a marvel of worship, prayer meetings and confession that is in constant use, as well as the many concerts, art exhibitions and the monk and nun-clad students that one encounters everywhere. - All this means that no one can visit the city with no sense of faith, power and influence. People use the church every day and every hour throughout the year. Sundays filled the sidewalks that the soccer match of churchgoers on their way to mass. And everywhere lit candles to the Virgin Mary and Pope John Paul II, who was born in the small town of Wadowice, an hour's drive from Krakow, the 18.mai 1920, and as the 1st of May 2011 was beatified by the Vatican as a step on the road to be able to announce him to be St. Johannes. - It's a strange curtain of something historic that we recognize but do not yet know. For award blessed by the pope, who had most of his work here in Krakow, is probably just the beginning of something even bigger.

ALREADY now appears to Pope John Paul II, the purest national saint, with its numerous statues in public spaces, besides the newly papal banners decorate churches and halls anywhere. For my part I will point out that "In particular the cult of Maria with roots in Pope's pious ideals and karmelittiske spirituality seems to put the mark on the city's spiritual life" - is why people say that Pope John Paul II was a true mystic with the motto: "" Totus Tuus Maria / or: "Full and completely yours, Mary" - In this turn of honour from Jesus to Mary, I believe we will experience both a different theology and a longterm policy for peace and reconciliation between the major religions. Which also stated that: Marin Buber-inspired dialogue program of the meeting between my own I and another's YOU, as Pope John Paul II, took the initiative. - Why can not the Pope's importance for Krakow, considered high enough. What happens here will affect us and the Europeans for decades to come. For the holy knows no boundaries, nor in this amazing city! - With best regards / jph
