The Road Trip Begins

 My dear brother (one of the 3) and his wife have just arrived in Poros from Perth. I can't remember how many times they have visited.  All my family love the island and come here year after year. It used to be just brothers and wives but now it's nephews and nieces, members of the extended family and many friends.   It always amazes me how much they enjoy their stay and it gives me so much pleasure when I see them walking down the gang plank of the Catamaran!! 

This time we are taking Paul and Karen up north to ancient Delphi, the naval of the world, and the site where the oracle Pythia announced her cryptic answers to the ancient's queries. 

From Delphi we go onto Meteora with it's Monasteries 'in the air' 

Paul in his Hellenic Navy cap ready to set off on our road trip 

Paul's cap brought us lots of chat about Greece, brothers in law, and Australia. Every Greek has some family member in Australia, and these Australians have relatives on a Greek island

We travelled along the top of the Peloponese and crossed over this magnificent bridge, Rio Antirio, to the rest of mainland Greece 

Octopus and grilled, fileted sardines

After a wee 'adventure' we found a taverna off the main road. One where locals were eating, and drinking,  and enjoyed a very good lunch. 

Here we are, the table groaning as usual with traditional Greek food

The view at lunch

Not bad is it. 

The village of Delphi is way up in the mountains and this is our view looking down to the sea. 

Happy couple 

Cocktail time

We were also celebrating our 46th Wedding Anniversary

Thank you Paul And Karen for making it a wonderful day

It was a 5 hour journey

Much more tomorrow 😊😊
