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 ...

There was a duty free shop, and vending machines, but that was really it. Cam and I did venture out at one point in the afternoon, and were able to walk through the dodgy area, through the fence hole, and about 1km to get to a Goody’s (Greek fast food) and be able to get some lunch (and take some food back for Jude & Dave). ...
