TRAVEL GUIDE
OLYMPIA
Travel to Olympia
May 5 - Olympia

Travel to Olympia, Greece with GreeceJournals.com We're writing this on the 6th over our breakfast of coffee - coffee and Baileys for Rob (the hair of the dog!) Yesterday we travelled over the entire Peloponnese - what a beautiful part of the country.

Travel to Olympia, Greece with GreeceJournals.com Wildflowers, hundreds of varieties, were everywhere. Sparta bushes (yellow flowers), Judas trees (pink/purple) and Mimosa trees (yellow berries) are new finds. Oleander grows everywhere but it's not in full bloom yet.

After a brief visit to Megalopolisand HOURS of bus ride, we reached Olympia. Incredible! Despite the heavy earthquake destruction it is such an impressive site. We explored all around - going anywhere you want again - and toured the impressive Museum also.

Travel to Olympia, Greece with GreeceJournals.com Last night a bunch of us went to a Greek dancing show down the street and Rob and I both got up on the stage - OPA!

Afterwads there was no stopping Rob - more beer and ouzos were called for and we talked with one of the dancers until well into the early hours. We walked to the top of the hill but there wasn't much to see in the dark and we were disturbing the dogs - so we sat on our balcony and watched the biggest moon we've EVER seen rising very quickly over the mountains.

We had a laugh at dinner last night when we discovered that Rob had eaten goat - and hadn't known it!
