    Does this mean we're athletes?

    September 28, 2023 in Greece ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C

    This morning began at the same location as the original Olympic games, in Olympia. We explored the ruins from the 8th century B.C. Its extensive ruins include athletic training areas, a stadium and temples dedicated to the gods Hera and Zeus. We both ran the distance of the original stadium, so that pretty much makes us fitness gurus.

    We also explored the Archaeological Museum of Olympia, which held a good amount of the original statues and artifacts from that time.

    After lunch we drove north to Patras, the capital of the Peloponnese and the west coast's largest port. We continued crossing the spectacular Rion-Antirion bridge, which is one of the world's longest multi-span cable-stayed bridges and longest of the fully suspended type. We went through the picturesque fishing villages along the south coast of the mainland to legendary Delphi.

    Once we arrived in Delphi and checked out the amazing views from our room we headed to dinner, and had a stunning post dinner walk.
