Scary finding
Today we started driving again, this time with Melissa. We drove between the tiny villages again and saw a lot of the rural part of Rhodes, where no tourists came.
We then tried a dirt road which was quite fun. I took a very small fork and a minture later we drove over the mountains of Rhodes over very stony small roads, but still okay enough to drive.
We then saw a skull of a goat which was in perfect condition. After that we went up and up and in a couple of minutes we were overlooking a big part of the island. The last part was very steep and small. After some fund driving here and enjoying the scenerey we went down again, and when we were on flat terrain we passed some military vehicles, big machines were parked on our left side, and in front of us a closed gate emerged, but the gatekeeper was on -our- side of the closed gate. The guy laughed friendly when he saw us coming and openend the gate for us.
Somehow we were driving on militairy ground for a long time. I guess we had missed something
We continued our trip and drove through some very small villages here, they all looked interested, obviously they don’t see too many tourists here.
Then we forked from the tarred roads again and took a dirt road. This was one pretty small and we were not sure if it was leading to something. I drove beween the bushes and then came on some grass land. I tried to see if it was leading to somewhere but that was hard to see. I just stepped in the car again and told the other we will have to see if it’s leading to somewhere.
So we drove further and then Melissa asked me to back a little bit. She didn’t want to tell us what she thought she’d seen. Because she said it was too weird to think about it.
I drove backwards and we were curious about what we were going to see, or not. “Yes!, there it is, I’m afraid I was right….” We were looking at a skull, lying in the grass.
We were all perplex. It was not a skull of an animal, it was a human skull which we had found here. As Melissa’s knowledge about skulls is pretty good (that’s why she saw this in a glimpse too) she could tell us it was lying here for only 1-2 years. We were stunned, “How the hell…..?” We didn’t know what to say, but it looked like a movie. The size of the skull was obviously from a child, so that made this situation even worse. This mean the child was probably murdered and was dumped over here. If a child was playing it would be more likeley she/he was found because the aread was known where the child usually plays. It was still guesswork, but it could be child murder. We all agreed to call the police and show them the way to the skull, because this had to be investigated. We were all feelling weird about this. We went back to the village and had to find out what the phone number of the police was. We called the police and waited for one hour before they got here. When they were there we drove back through the bushes and over the field and stopped. It had to be here somewhere. It took a while before we found it back again, because it was dark. We left our names and numbers and they asked if we some of us could come over to the police station tomorrow.
