Full day trip to Delphi yesterday. Went past Thebes where Oedipus was born and came to a sticky end. Even saw some sheep and a shepherd's hut which looked just like it would have then.
As we started climbing the mountains it started to snow. Beautiful huge flakes. It snowed on us all day until we descended into the valley again.
We went through a small village where they sell handicrafts - furs, embroideries, pottery and some of the furs were out in the street getting snowed on. By the time we came back through there was so much snow that it looked like a village in Switzerland.
Delphi was misty which made the photos atmospheric but not very panoramic. I would have loved more time in the site and the museum but it was wonderful to see it all. The centre piece for the museum is the bronze Charioteer which had its own room.
