9:30pm: at our little hotel in Delphi for one night after a long day. Went to breakfast early in Kardamyli before we checked out began the drive the long/scenic way around the west side of the Peloponnese to Delphi to see the ruins. That drive was not so scenic until we crossed a huge bridge to leave the Peloponnese - the toll was 13.50! Anyway, then the drive got pretty along the coastline.
However, we were making good time so we got to Delphi by 2pm, actually found a parking spot in town near the hotel, and checked in. The hosts George and Vicki are super sweet and own a souvenir shop downstairs. This town is basically two streets set up with shops and restaurants based on the ruins a few minutes walk below.
We had originally planned to arrive here, check out town, and do the ruins tomorrow before going to Athens but something made us do the ruins today. So we walked down and first checked out the museum, which had a lot of cool artifacts and sculptures, then walked further to the ruins. It was hot and the ruins are mostly upstairs/uphill, so we only made it to the theatre and skipped some of the rest of the ruins that were way more uphill.
After that, we returned to the hotel, showered, and took a rest before a little browsing in the shops and dinner in town. We went to a place recommended by the guy at the hotel. He said it is busy season for tour groups and most of the restaurants seemed to have some groups in them.
Tomorrow we head to Athens to ditch the car and have a few days of sightseeing in our final stop!!
