• Day 11. Delphi to Athens

    May 19 in Greece ☀️ 13 °C

    Day 11. Today we left for the ancient greek sanctuary of Delphi, which houses the oracle of Apollo.
    The ancient Greeks considered the centre of the world to be in Delphi which is marked by a stone monument called the Omphalus of Delphi, this means belly button in Greek.
    It's a very cool place, the stadium that is there is the most well preserved stadium in Greece and primarily hosted the gymnastics and track and field events of the ancient Pythian games.
    We had a very gd guide which showed us around and then also took us through the museum.
    Next our drive to Athens. Our guide who we've had for 3 days Yiannis took us on a small walk around to orientate ourselves. And then we watched the changing of the guards, they guard the tomb of the unknown soldier and happens on the hour.
    I shall post pics in a separate post part 2 as I can't fit any more on this one lol, I'm waiting to go in the Acropolis and to see the Parthenon. We have all now parted ways, I believe they think I am mad as I keep crying 🤣 xxx
