A short drive brought us to Olympia the site of the original Olympic games. Its like a park with three thousand year old ruins. It was raining when we arrived, but the gods saw fit to part the clouds and we walked through the site in the sun (birds signing- cue music). We scattered through the small town and found lunch- Greek food of course ( here they just call it “food’). We crossed the Peloponnese on winding mountain roads. Wonderful views. As it got dark, fog set in on a thin highway with no lights, few guardrails and switchbacks of unbelievable sharpness. The fog would lift for a moment to reveal we were thousands of feet above the coast and swinging around impossible turns. We could see the lights of the towns along the coast as we descended (very stunning).
We have had a change of itinerary. Our booked cruise has been cancelled (the ship is not sailing). We've booked an alternate cruise that starts tomorrow. This was beyond our control.
Our new boat is the Aquamarine of Louis Cruises, 004751407250. We leave Piraeus at 11:00 am Friday. First stop Mykonos! We return to Athens on Monday. Yes a day has been shaved off the cruise, but we’ll develop a great new option for the extra day next week.
Our new hotel and number will follow soon. No changes to our return flights.
