Today we had the morning free to catch up on sleep, homework, or whatever else had gotten away from us amongst all the excitement. Ellie and I slept in until 10:30, which was a trip record for us. We woke up too late for breakfast, so we searched the neighborhood for some local cuisine. We managed to find a small bakery that had pida, and that made an excellent lunch.
In the afternoon we traveled to the temple of Poseidon. Our driver, Odysseus, drove us down the Poseidon highway. I thought this was a little ironic, especially considering the winding drive which was a little bit rough on some of us.
The temple itself was not particularly grand, but the views were amazing. We could see miles of ocean. It felt like the real temple at this site was the landscape itself. For years tourists have carved their names into the temple, and one such tourist was Lord Byron. Don't worry, i took a picture of this epic signature.
I'm glad Odysseus didn't get us lost on the way there. We all know how he has beef with Poseidon.
