Riding day 10: From Delphi to Olympia

It's astonishing to think that 2500-3000 years ago the tempels of Delphi were made

And they are still beautifull!

Especially when you walk there yourself and feel thousands of years of history surrounding you.

The amfitheater

And of course, the temple of the oracle.

And how nice is it, when you have been riding along the Greek coast that tourguide Thomas has made a lovely lunch!

Sitting in the shade, on the corinthian see, with good food and a beautiful ride ahead.

That puts a smile on everyone's face!

Antirrio bridge

And at the end of a great day, a refreshing dip in the pool and a cold beer.

Photo stop at a beautiful pass thrue the inland of Greece

After a lovely stretch of road we are having dinner, directly on the ocean in a very little fishing village.

Here you have it all: a group of very happy bikers, good food, ocean view and shade of trees.

So, almost at the hotel. A last photo shoot with the ocean in the background. Again a beautiful riding day.

And this is how we end a ride: having a cold beer after a swim in the pool, and again with a view on the ocean. The hotel is surrounded by orange and olive trees.
