Today we went on an all day excursion to the Corinth Canal, dug in the19th century. In ancient times boats paid a fee and were pulled across this narrow stretch of land on platforms which had wheels.
The next stop was Epidauris, which has a well preserved theatre and was a center of healing in ancient times.
Last stop was Mycenae where we saw the beehive tomb with the lion gates and the ancient hill fortress from the Bronze Age.
This was all followed by lunch.
Lunch was lamb roasted Greek style. I have never seen such stringy meat. The animal must have been running up and down the hills for years.
We join the boat tomorrow and the signal will be hit and miss. I will write when I can. Love Mum.
Have just caught up with your blog and am enjoying your stories enormously. Hope you have a wonderful trip and I look forward to more,providing the ship Wifi cooperates of course.
