Heaven is Cala Morell

Last week our excursion involved checking out all the taliotic sites around this side of the island. The taliotic people were the inhabitants of the island that started off living in caves, and later moved into stone villages. The Romans later came and used the taliotic people to their advantage as slingers (sling shot people) in their army. The cool part is they used lead shots, meaning that if they didn’t kill them from the shot, they would later die from lead poisoning!

Here are some pictures of the caves and the taliotic villages we saw that day.

Here are some goofy pics of me in the caves:

The best part of the day came when we arrived at Cala Morell – the most gorgeous little town, reminding me of Greece, and where every photo taken is of post card quality. I can’t imagine a better place for a village than on the top of the cape. It was quite breathtaking and seriously made the excursion one of the best ever. I’ll just let the pictures talk for themselves.
