In fact there are as many Gods as flavours of ice cream in an American ice cream parlour!! A coach was provided for us to visit Delphi this morning. For many centuries, Delphi was the ancient and religious centre of the ancient Greek world. I couldnt begin to describe the museum or the ancient site ..its well worth a visit ...there were many American tourists there and I was talking to a lady from Florida and another one from Ohio ..a place called Bryan. The site of the Ancient Olympics is there and we climbed to the top of the hill to see the stadium. The coach journey was quite spectacular ...passing through little villages with barely enough room to pass parked cars ...winding roads ..snaking down the hills overlooking vast olive groves beneath ...an aquaduct accompanied the narrow road which I was told goes all the way to Athens. Each turn of the road revealed an even more spectacular view than the one before ...looking down onto the Gulf of Corinth that we sailed through yesterday. We returned to the boats for lunch and some of us headed for a swim in the lovely, clear, blue, and warm waters of the Corinth Gulf.
