Katakolon/Olympia

Took the train to the ancient ruins of Olympia, where they Olympic games started. Something magic about being there, and then seeing the amazing statues, griffins, etc. that were found there over the years (in the museum, of course).

Yummy lunch: chickpeas and spinach in a lemon sauce, anchovies (also in a lemon sauce) and yet another kind of little cheese pie.

Back to the ship, and once again comfortably ensconced on deck chairs to watch the beautiful scenery as we sail away and say αντιο σας to Greece (for this time).

Wandered around a bit on our own, then met our very interesting walking tour of the old town. Then late lunch of "brodet", a Croatian seafood stew, and grilled calamari. Then waddled to the bus and back to the ship.

Travel day spent on the train, so not much to say about that. Nice countryside that looks a lot like California. However, our hotel is formed by two small Mudejar buildings built in the first third of the sixteenth century. Very cool, though the room presents a few challenges. Photo shows part of the lobby (originally a courtyard of one of the houses). Delicious dinner of salmon in some kind of orange sauce.
