Katakolon is a small town on the coast very near where the Olympics first began over 2000 years ago. It's about a 45 minute drive out to the site to see the ruins. Mom is getting tired of ruins. She says that if you want to see something ruined, check out my knee. Our next stop is Venice so in order to let her leg rested up, we skipped the history lesson and stayed in town where she just walked the 3 blocks of the Main Street.
We arrived in this port later than usual, at 10am and we had to leave by 4:30pm so we didn't have a lot of time anyway. There were some nice shops to see and Mom liked that. Quite a few dress and clothes shops and the usual jewelry. One store had nothing but wood products made from olive tree wood. Beautiful. Lots to see. We sat at a restaurant on the wharf looking at the ship in the distance and enjoying the afternoon. They were doing a lifeboat drill on board and we could see the process from our table.
We went back to the ship about 3. I tried for any free wifi but none available. We skipped the fancy dinner, went to the buffet instead and then to the 8pm show. Tonight it was acrobats and magicians. Tomorrow is a sea day followed by Venice. Hopefully, Karen's knee will feel better by then.

Boomer Rolex is pretty well known for licensing their product to street vendors who only deal in cash. You got one heck of a deal.
