Tuesday 23  September

The wind blew all night, so neither A nor myself got too much sleep, so the 7.15 rise was not too difficult. Away from the camp, by 8.30, along the road to Corinth. We did not stop this time as we shall have more time on the return trip going to Athens.

We had some superb bread (from a proper bread shop, sold nothing else) for breakfast and lunch. Prior to lunch we saw some 1300 BC ruins at Mycenae – the walls of the city were 12’ thick with small doorways on 2 sides.

Arrived at Tolon and set up camp at camping Lido (cheaper than the others – has own beach). Quick swim and then rest after bad night. After evening meal talked to Transit drivers and discovered that there had only been two bad days during the past two months – the rain must be following us. That night walked along the only street, looked into the shops and returned to the bar overlooking the sea. Had bottle of wine and Greek coffee (expensive total 8/-!) and went to bed.
