Magnificent Delphi

Of course, I went there expecting to find next week's lottery numbers scrawled on the closest tree by the Oracle. Or at least an old crone in a tent charging 5 euros for a fortune telling. None of the above.

On the contrary, despite the heat, the crowds, the difficulty finding parking, and whatever, it was really lovely, especially the higher you went on the site.

Afterwards, we found an excellent place for lunch - just a local place right on the sea. Well done G for spotting something as we drove along. And then over the bridge to Patras - very impressive. Now we're hunkered down in a hotel at Olympia, after a sneaky supper of baklava on the hotel terrace, waiting for our next visit tomorrow.

This is quite some voyage of discovery.
