Every Tour bus in Greece!

 We stopped at Olympia and visited the archeological site there where the temple of Zeus is located.

It was a great experience to be at the site of the very first Olympic games and learn about the athletes, the housing, the games (the mens and womens games were held on separate occasions on different years every four years).

We spent quite a bit of time walking around the site and really got a feeling for what it might have felt like in ancient times.




We loved that each area was well marked with plaques telling the story and giving pictures of an artists rendition of what the buildings may have looked like way back then...

The next day we wanted to go to the Olympia Museum until we saw the number of tour busses and cars at the site, and blocking every side street and alley in the whole town! There were about 500 cars and busses lined up and people everywhere!! Ok ahhhhhh...pass on the museum... next time! Off to Pyrgos, Patra, and Diakopto.
