Day 4: Corinth Canal and the oracles of Delphi

 

Department of Amazement: All the pics came over from the camera, got edited, and then all loaded on to the travel pc, and then the entire batch loaded on to the blog. THB was in shock. It's 1999 again, let's party.

Events today: 

  • The Star Legend squeezed through the Corinth Canal, scraping the sides periodically, pulled by a tug the 4 miles
  • The big excursion was to an archeological museum to see ceramics (this time  it made sense) and to walk in the rain among the 2500 year old ruins.
 

THB visits the small, complete fitness center

THB and DB cannot get the headset/hearing piece/hearing aids combo to work for THB; just as well, DB gives THB the highlights of the tour THB stands near to the guide so hears most of what is being transmitted

bulletproof? how about javelin proof?
