On High. Meteora.

Posing with Varlaam Monastery in the background.

As interesting as it was visiting the museum at Delphi was, I'm really eager to get on the road because what I think will be the highlight of our road trip through Greece lies just ahead. 

It was nearing 10am as we pulled away from the museum.  Goodbye Delphi!

What Say You, Oracle? Delphi.

At the archaeological site at Delphi.

From Olympia, our drive took us to the modern town of Delphi located in central Greece; the famed archaeological site is located nearby. We headed north, leaving the Peloponnese region behind us.  Near the city of Pio, we crossed an ultra modern looking bridge that separated the Gulf of Patras from the Gulf of Corinth.

Where Athletes Once Battled it Out. Ancient Olympia.

Standing before the Temple of Zeus.

We both had another great night's sleep last night and were up just past dawn.  It was the sound of someone sweeping the front portico, beneath our balcony, that woke me up.

Road Trip to Katakolo.

Our drive took us deep into the heart of the Peloponnese region.

We both had a great night's sleep - hopefully, enough that we've kicked our jet lag.  A picture perfect sunny day awaited us.  I had to enjoy some time on the balcony before getting ready for the day.
