Exploring little village sirinci
Legend has it the village started in 4AD by freed slaves under the feudal system n named their village ugly fugly to discourage other visitors! There s a lovely market in the centre if village filled with handicrafts, crochet, felt etc. A very relaxed and laid back atmosphere with genuinely nice villagers.

I was the only other person there and he did not see me. Then again I have been known to talk to myself and the dogs. Anyway, I still can't believe they have it left in such shambles in spite of the fact that only 1 column from the temple remains today. At this rate, that may well be lost one ...
