As for the going up and down, I'm not young and it's becoming quite difficult. Mind you, I've seen children, some with sticks or wheelchairs. People don't give up easily, and that's beautiful.DUTAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12979375799258978432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8085364042461678579.post-41150340656023408332016-09-18T13:56:50.779+03:002016-09-18T13:56:50.779+03:00Duta, reading this I can only remember my trip to ...Duta, reading this I can only remember my trip to Greece.

What I meant is that the authorities transferred theexcavated items to a safer place like the archeological museum. This, of course, had a damaging effect on the authenticity of the Palace, but I suppose it was the right thing to do.DUTAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12979375799258978432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8085364042461678579.post-45692719655736877042016-09-17T23:43:12.120+03:002016-09-17T23:43:12.120+03:00It's so sad that things were stolen.
