After a hearty breakfast from the Hotel Europa we drove down the road to visit the site of the first Olympic games. The museum was full of amazing artifacts, statues etc dating back to the 5th Century BC. I am not a big fan of spending much time in a museum, but this one was so interesting we stayed for many hours, so much to take in.

After the museum we wandered around the sacred site. Stood right where they light the Olympic torch every 4 years, and then it starts the journey to the city holding the games. This place would have been magnificent to see in its original state, before age and earthquakes have taken their toll. It was so peaceful here, we lost all track of time.

By the time we finished exploring archeological site, it was way past lunch time. Found a nice cafe with outdoor seating, so we ordered some really good Greek food, and whiled away a few hours with some great music and surroundings. So peaceful and serene. This is a beautiful part of Greece.

We have been eating plenty of free oranges. The are orange trees everywhere. Not as sweet as the ones from home. Did get a rude shock today. The Saab had about half a tank of fuel, so i thought i would top it up. Delphi is only 230ks away, but not sure if the fuel stations will be open tomorrow. Plus we wont be driving on any highways, it will be via the back roads through lots of old villages.

Anyway it took 30 litres. At 1.65 euro a litre this was $50 Euro worth or just under $70 aussie for half a tank. Now i wish we had the nice small car i originally booked with Avis. Oh well, it is nice to have such a luxury car for a change.
