Where is Ron?

Docking on the Zeghe peninsula.

Approaching the church.

Outer entrance to the monastery church.

Inner courtyard of church. Most of the churches have three rings - an outer section usually covered, an inner ring with walls on both sides, and the most sacred inner ring (Ron never got to enter the inner ring because it is reserved for the priests). Most of the paintings were on the outside wall of the most inner ring.

Priest.

Top of church.

Wall painting of people on horses.
