Geo: 38.2381, 21.7392 GÜN 08 GÜNLERDEN PERŞEMBE: Biraz derin uyumuşuz ..kendimizi zorlayarak 08:30 da kahvaltıya katıldık. Etrafımız çekik gözlü çinli kaynıyor.. Kendime nasıl kızıyorum ..Nasıl oldu da Bu Çinlilerin bir gün dünyayı harmanlayacaklarına uyanamamışım.. Biraz vizyon olaymış bir otel alırdım .. Beni Mao yaktı.. Biz, kültür devrimi dolduruşlarına gelmişiz.. Bunlar yurt dışına çıkamaz diye kesip atmışız.. Potansiyele bak be abi.. Önemli değil artık gelecek sefere… Saat 09:30 da kapı önündeki şahbazımıza bindik ve personelle vedalaştık. Bu kez MIO'yu (Bizim GPS)yu dinliyeyim dedim. Tak diye inadına bizi otobanın dışına çıkarttı. Kime güveneceğimi bilemiyorum . Kendisini bir süreliğine istirahate çekip bildiğim gibi gittim . Çok geçmeden do... read more

We arrive in the small fishing village of Katakolon just before 10am. The main reason for coming here is it's proximity to the ancient site of Olympia where the first Olympics were held.

It was very small consisting of one street and one small waterfront pathway. However, this one street consisted of a variety of small and interesting shops. All kinds of gifts shops from the usual low cost tacky ... read more

Yia Su all I keep forgetting to caption photos but they pretty much speak for themselves so I don't think that needs a big apology unlike my mea culpa over the typos. We've been in Paleros for three nights and I'm writing this on the 5th night just before I hit the sack. It's a problem writing these after we've been out to dinner as I find the thinking a bit blurred at times. It's Gavin's fault. The local red wine here is cheap; it seems to be mainly available in one litre plastic bottles for a couple of Euro so it's not surprising that we connoisseurs pick up on that pretty quickly. Hence my fumblings at times on the "keyboard". Like all good capitalists we hired a taxi from Athens to Paleros. 400 euros for ... read more
