Today was mostly a riding day. We took the road south from Olympia through the mountains. On the way, we stopped at the Temple of Epicurean Apollo and then continued south to Mystras.
This is the grass hopper, in case you couldn’t tell before
The kids rushing over to take a picture of a big grass hopper
Breakfast time @ Ancient Olympia campground
I call this: Bedhead in morning sun
View along the route to the temple of Epicurean Apollo
The temple was supposedly up in the mountains
Passing some very slow Greek traffic participants
It also included walking uphill for a bit
The Temple of Epicurean Apollo is the oldest Unesco World heritage site in Greece. It is being restored for the last 40 years and there is no end in sight. The tent prevents further damage from the elements
Despite the long restauration, it is nowhere near finished. Probably because funding for these kinds of projects is cut first during a crisis
We had a snack at the picnic table provided on site
The old fragments are supplemented by the new pieces
Also. around the tent the setting was just lovely! The kids agreeed
*smile*
Full of energy again, she managed the way down on her own
There are soooo many animals around. Everywhere. I feel like we havn’t had enough cats on the blog so far
We drove through the mountains in the middle of nowhere and stumbled across this lovely little restuarant where we had lunch
Also along the way we came across this industrial site
