We stopped for an ice cream (I had green apple, can’t remember what Rob ordered…) and wandered about town. Turned a corner and stumbled upon this monastery. It was lit by candles on the floor and run by an elderly gentleman who explained the turbulent history to us.

The ‘Fool’s Head’ keeps people wondering….. was it a UFO, the devil… neither – just a ‘Fool’s Head’  The curator laughed as he tried to explain it to us, but his English was very broken and hard to understand.
