Delphi 1998

Jo-Ann
23.7.98 - Got up early and drove to Delphi.  Visited the temple of Apollo and saw the museum.  Delphi is very expensive and touristy, lovely shops and magnificent pottery.  We decided to have lunch and enjoy the lovely view, olive groves that went on and on.  Decided to drive to Athens as it was only two hours on the freeway.  Stopped and had something to eat at an autogrill, which was built over the highway.  Arrived in Athens very late and found out the Galaxy Hotel was a dump.  We couldn't stay there, we finally found the Poseidon Hotel down the road - basic and very expensive.

Day 28 - Today we went to Delphi which is just outside Athens.  In Delphi we wanted to stay a night but it was too touristy so we went to some ruins called the  Temple of Apollo which was great.  It had an amphitheatre which is a shell shaped theatre.  Josh and I went up to the top of theatre and dad stood at the bottom and spoke in a normal voice and Josh and I heard it very clearly.  Because the theatre is shaped like a shell the sound is spread.

Day 28 - Today we went to Delphi which is a ruin of the Temple of Apollo and the Oracle and when we got there we had lunch at a taverna overlooking the olive trees.  Then we went to Delphi and you couldn't pick anything up but Christian and I didn't do what the sign said, we picked up some things and it was pottery.  There was a cave there and we found a dog in there.  When we went out we went to the museum and there were statues there and gold jewellery.  We went up town and we were looking for pots but we couldn't get them because they wouldn't let them on the plane.  After that we drove to Athens and on the way we stopped at a big autogrill where we had lunch and on the bottom floor they had a games room and a toy shop.  We looked in the toy shop but there wasn't much there so we drove to Athens and when we got there we got our hotel and went to bed.
