Saturday – 5:10 P.M. (Grecian Time) on a small motor coach
(Mercedes Benz no less) somewhere on the way to Olympia. We have already had a full day. We got picked up at 7:00 a.m. at our hotel in
Athens (nice place) and then were transferred to this smaller “bus” There are only 10 of us on board (the four of
us, one couple from LA and two couples from Australia (ahh – that’s pronounced
Oz trailyeeea to you mate!). We visited
the amphitheater in Epidavros. This city was also known as the center of
healing in ancient times.
Next we visited Mycenae where there is another acropolis and
dates back to the 16 -12th century BC! The
museum here has many reproduced artifacts from the early civilizations and it
is truly mind boggling (to me anyway how they were able to produce such
masterpieces).
Side note – cheapest gas we have seen so far is 1,59 Euros
(not a typo – they use the comma like we use the decimal point). Before you decide to sell your house and move
to Greece based on the price of gas, that price is per liter not per gallon
(you figure it out) so we don’t have it so bad after all.
Very bumpy and curvy road so I’m signing off for now. Hopefully I’ll be able to send this out when
we get to our final destination.
Tried to send out from our hotel – The Olympia Palace – but
server is down = (
