| norabillandme

Urghhh! zzzzz! an early start this morning but apparently we will be visiting one of the most beautiful towns in the Peloponnese. But on the way we stop at Korinthos to admire the canal.

  • H: Warm sunny day ahead  😁
  • K: seems like quite a chilled and relaxed day ahead. a pottering sort of day.
  • H: Nice view of corinth canal😁
  • K: bit deep! amazing how something that deep was dug by hand, well sort of.
  • 602 B.C – the tyrant of Corinth Periander
  • 307 B.C – Demetrius Poliorcetes
  • 37 – 67 AC – the Romans
  • 1687 – the Venetians
  • etc etc etc 🥱
  • 1893 – eventually!! the canal opened

Lunch – says ideal for picnics, so lets have one!

K: if we’ve got time in Nafplion the archaeology museum is supposed to be worth a visit. I’ve also got a town walk we can follow, rather than be herded round..

H: Lets do our town walk 😁. Apparently there are lots of secret passageways. The archaeology museum is housed in a venetian building built in the baroque style.

K: supposed to be a good display of jewellery and glass beads.

H: That was a lovely walk 😁. Fancy a drink?

K: ooo yes, a nice cold beer I think. loved the murals outside the church of  St Mary Above All Saints. do you fancy a fish tea down on the harbour front. supposed to be some good restaurants down there..

  • H: As the weather is dry think fish supper at the harbour a great idea. Better check with J 😁
  • K: 9pm suit for a stretch on the harbour front.
  • H: Si 😁
  • K: oh well my fish and chips were nice as was the sounds from the harbour
  • H: Lovely barmy evening 😁
  • K: thinking 🤔 tmrw, taxi or steps..
  • K: waistline or not… 😆
  • H: Might see how hot it will be. Apparently theres plenty of stopping places.
  • K: Well we did all those steps in tbilisi.. tho part of it was cable car..
  • H: I think that u could do it no prob as you did the gergeti climb last year
  • K: yes I’ll prob do it.. you know me.. like a challenge.. but hope its an early start while its a bit cooler. don’t want to end up with beetroot face..
  • H: 😆 might try practicing by doing my stairs up 28 times
