After the tomb of Agamemnon I headed up to Korithos to see the canal and the old city before heading back to Athens. When I climbed on the bus I saw the two Norwegian guys from yesterday and they were headed to Korinthos too. I gave them all my unreliable bus and train schedules along the way and said good bye at the station and I headed off to find the canal. I stopped at a hotel to get a map and directions, which turned out to be a waste of time because the ...

Ok so that '4 hr direct train at 5 am' was really a 6 hr trip at 6 am, with 2 train changes, good thing I didn't have anywhere to be! I got to Ancient Olympia around noon, thanks to a German family waking me up on the train... I doubt I would have slept through it, it was the last stop on the line, but it was nice to be looked out for.

They said no, they were headed to the Monast...

We got there and talked the guy down to 20 euro per person with breakfast included for a 3 person hotel room. He told us there ...

I saw where Emily had to drive in Chicago traffic, if you want a real experience you'll drive over here! I've never seen such crazy driving-- our city bus , the CITY BUS drove the wrong way down a one way today! And mopeds?! they're everywhere. I was on the sidewalk and made a quick movement over to the trash can, without looking for mopeds which I guess I should, and a guy almost hit me. I apologized, and he said in broken English ''its ok, its ok" then...
