1/12 - 1/15
I left my laptop - oops, sorry 'netbook', on the bus to Delphi. Resigned to never seeing it again I was very surprised when it came back on the same bus six hours later!
The temple of Athena was cool and free, the Oracle already closed and quite expensive. The beautiful scenery was much more impressive than the ruins anyway.
With no water working in the village we left the next day for the attractive harbour town of Itea, then Ioannina. Chrysoula guesthouse turned out to be in the neighbouring village but fortunately we had their phone number and her rapper 'Americanophile' (why isn't there a real word for that?) son came to pick us up. In town were the best gyros we've had so far, but only cake for breakfast at the guesthouse.
The Perama cave is one of the biggest and most interesting we've ever seen, but our camera's battery died so we didn't get much in the way of pictures. It was formed when the lake receded, and not from underground rivers as most of those we've been to. The compulsory guide had to be called from her home to show us around and turned out to be a Russian(?) history professor with a big furry hat who really warmed to us after we praised the cave.
Bye bye Greece, hello Albania!
