Missionaries in the Greece Athens Mission are transferred every 90 days, or at least one of the missionaries in the companionship is transferred. So, all the missionaries in the zone will go on a zone trip together sometime during that 3 month period. On P-Day, September 21st, the Cyprus Zone missionaries, 10 young missionaries and 3 senior couples, went to the Troodos Mountains. The tallest part of the mountian is Mt. Olympus. It is 1950 meters, which is about 6338 feet above sea level. In the winter there is snow and they have a ski resort. It is a very beautiful mountain resort. We hiked to the Kaladonia Waterfalls, which as the sign says, was a 2 km round trip. It was a great hike, unless you ask Sylvia. (This is Sylvia speaking: It was supposed to be a little 2 km hike. It was pretty steep in spite of what Paul says, and the slick rock crossings weren't too good for old people. I have to admit though, it was beautiful!) It was not too steep, but had lots of rocks and 5 creek crossings where we had to step on wet slick rocks to get across. When we finally made it we enjoyed a beautiful flowing waterfall. After the hike we went higher up the mountain to a picnic area and enjoyed a sloppy joe lunch.
