The Drive North to Patras
Woke this morning to the most spectacular waning moon but the photos just don't do it justice.Only a short drive to our first stop which was Methoni Castle/Fortress. Bulit by theVenetians in the 12th century and then taken over by the Ottomans in the 15th century. Whilst a lot of it is in ruin, the walls/moat/gate etc are still intact. The castle has 2 moats which looks pretty spectacular. It was huge inside the walls - too muchto ...
From Italy to Greece

Voor mij zoet in de ochtend graag en hartig in de middag. Dan hebben ze feta, of spinazie, ...
Patras, Pyrgos, Olympia and Athens all in one day
... everything so we didn't walk but took the carriage pulled by a horse to the top of the hill. It was fun except for the Greek taxi drivers making disgusting kiss kiss noises when we went by. I was extra glad after that that we hadn't walked back.
We collected our lugggage and made our way back to the bus stop and thank goodness we were early because the bus came and left early and we would have had to wait an hour if we hadn't gotten there then. We made our ...
