Delphi Palace

... very reason. The first part of the tour involved a walk through the excellent museum which contains works in stone, ivory, gold, silver and bronze.

Aspa dragged us around and all the while kept up a commentary which was informative, in-depth and interesting. She seemed to love imparting facts and ...

As I descend, the clouds melt away: perhaps my gestures are acknowledged, after all...
Spend rest of afternoon relaxing in campsite - not something we have done much of, lately.
Also successfully un-bug laptop, so am able to post this in real time (virtually).

... Don't. So decide to press on to Delphi, now we on this road. Most spectacular approach into heartland of Greece: massive mountains on all sides! Huge perspectives; staggering roads.

Find a nice ...
