We chose to take our time for Ancient Olympia and stayed another night at the same campground. Both kids walked like champions and we rewarded them with ice cream, a dip in the pool and a feast at dinner time.
The kids rushing over to take a picture of a big grass hopper
This is the grass hopper, in case you couldn’t tell before
Breakfast for soon to be Olympians 😉
Crossing the stream before reaching ancient Olympia
Free tickets to the site because it’s “International Day of the Monument” today
Looks like a Claudian picture to me
Blooming trees and ruins of ancient Olympia
A capital and some colums
Sun-bathing lizard
The remains of the Philippeion
The Agent of Entropy found a bench in the shade
The three colums and us
Again, late spring is a good time to travel here
Flo installed an app which let you see the intakt buildings in VR. We didn’t go for the goggles…
The stadium. Classes were encouraged to run the length of it
Naturally, three quarters of us also had to run
Lots of walking involved
Cuddles!
Most of the columns of the temple of Zeus fell down during an earthquake
This one is for the portfolio!
Alongside the workshop of Pheidias
The Agent was too tired to walk by this point
View of the palaestra
Blooming tree in the middle of thge palaestra
I had to have a picture with this gorgeous tree 😉
The helmets and a tired Agent
Trying to keep their interest up in very non-interactive museums
Statue of Nike
Tympanon figures
Finally outside!
A treat after so much walking
Time to try the pool. To cold for the parents but the kids went in!
Number 3 can swim now
He ordered a glass of red wine and got half a liter
Yummy, yummy Greek starters. Our kids were very impressed by the “dips”
