The Thunderstorm and the Tombs of the Kings


By Sophia

On Wednesday we came to Aphrodite Hills. We were nearly there but then when we were looking for the house the thunder storm came!!!! There was lightning and thunder and it was raining. We couldn't find the house so Dad went up and tried to open one that we thought it was but it was the wrong one! Yiayia rang Uncle Daymon and he said that we had the wrong house number! So we found the house.








On Monday we went to the Tomb of the Kings which is a place where they buried rich and important people in the olden days. It was around the 3rd century BC.

Aphrodite's Baths

By Ella
Yesterday we went to Aphrodite's Baths.
On the way suddenly a thunder storm came with thunder, lightning, and rain. When we got there we weren't sure if we should still go but it started to clear up so we decided to go. The storm was even worse than the ones in New Zealand and we were really surprised to have it. It was the first rain we have had since we left.

It was really interesting because I am studying Aphrodite.

The baths of Aphrodite is a little pool where Aphrodite bathed.
