2) On our way to the beach we stop off by Toxosouto, a monastery near St. Xuan, and in the woods nearby we find this building (click the link for the video clip below). What do you think it was for? It is about 4mtrs in diameter, 3 mtrs high, no roof but may once have had one. The walls are solid outside but inside, floor to (non-existent) ceiling, it has holes in the wall, or shall we say many stone shelves. There is only one small entrance (don’t be fooled by perspective, the entrance is about 1.40 high).

    Umm, is the first some strange, rare fungi?

    Hello dear travelers,
    Funny riddles ;o)
    I think that the first is a kind of beautiful mushroom and the building is a huge oven for baking special potteries.
    I’m curious what the right answer is.
    Love Frieda
