At Katakolon, Greece (Wednesday)

Needless to say we have free WiFi at a reasonable price.

We have just visited the ancient Olympia historical site.  Again we bypassed the ship tour and did a visit to the site around 40ks from where the ship docked.

It was half the price of a ship tour and by cab.  We had an hour to explore the site which was enough time for us.

The highlight was the main stadium of course, almost 200 metres long and with the ability to accommodate 45,000 spectators. There were numerous other buildings, many dating back to BC.

Check out Trish's Facebook pages for more photos.

The taxi driver only knew one speed, as fast as he could go.

The whole experience was yet another highlight of this remarkable trip.

Today it is quite warm with the temperature around 26 or so.

There are heaps of small shops with bits and pieces for sale here in this small seaside town. We will most likely visit most of them before heading home for a late lunch.

We sail for Athens mid afternoon and expect to arrive there first thing Thursday.
