The Lion Rock

Tomás turned up on time.

We drove for a long time, but eventually got there.

I have to admit that the rock does looks like one of our lions.

What do you think?
 
What worries me is the big stone that is supposed to be the lion’s head is resting precariously on a layer of gravel, which could give way any time.

On the way back we spotted the police checking other travellers.



We stopped and asked some monks what the problem was and were told that a new law had been passed prohibiting night travel without a high visibility vest.


We managed to sneak past in the shadows. Tomás dropped me of and hurried home before he would be missed.
Now where will I find a high visibility vest in my size?
