Katakolon, Greece

Today we were at Katakolon, Greece for the day to visit Olympia. We went on a ship tour (us and our many shipmates) to the ancient site to hear the mythology and see the sites. We then did a little shopping in the village of Olympia. We haven’t done a lot of buying, the odd thing for the kids but other than that the only interesting thing is the lovely greek food and we are not allowed to take anything that is not packaged back on to the ship.
Once again the logistics of moving around this number of people is impressive with 29 buses pulled up and waiting when we docked this morning at 8am. We had a bit of a sea running last night and it’s a weird feeling to be going up and down like a boat in something that feels nothing like a boat – more like a small town. I forgot to mention yesterday the 1500 seat theatre on the boat that had a pretty impressive show on last night. We have been getting a bit hi-de-hi this afternoon – I went to aerobics, Chris went to the gym and the kids have had a great time on the waterslide hanging out with new friends. The weather has certainly warmed up as we have moved south with a high of 20 deg today – okay for a sunbathe if you stay out of the breeze – any yes Kerrie, there is plenty of flesh on display!
