A lazy day with not much. Program above. Martin booked a trip to Spinalonga.The next day, Tuesday May 21st, Martin went to Spinalonga, an old leprosy colony. In 1873 the Norwegian doctor and zoologist Armauer Hansen discovered the leper-bacillus, after which it was possible to cure the illness. But the leper-hospital on Spinalonga was not closed until 1957, when the patients were taken to a hospital in Athens. |
