Switch it Back!

And so today's big adventure was to visit the ancient site of Delphi where lays the Temple of Apollo, the Treasury of the Athenians, and the famous Tholos at the santuary of Athena Pronaia.

I really wanted to make a trip up to Delphi and in all honesty, I was a little skeptical. I wasn't sure how this was going to pan-out, but I just went with it and I knew things would work themselves out.
The ride was great --- I had a window seat and the view... Holy Cow. 
Once we reached Livadeia, the mountains started to show themselves and OH THEE MU was it ever beautiful!  So many memories from my trip to the Rockies came back to mind -- except these mountains didn't have any snow on their peaks... which was weird.

We were doing switch backs after switch backs. I'm so impressed with what these Greek coach busses can do: up and down steep MOUNTAINS, drive through the skinniest streets I've ever seen in my life and make the sickest turns on roads I thought would be impossible --- I suppose all of the above do seem impossible if you are not Greek...!

The drive took three hours and a half and I loved it.  I listened to my music on my iPod, which consisted of a playlist I had dedicated to my brother: Tech Nine's 'Worldwide Choppers', 'So Lonely'; Travis Barker's smashing CD, T.I, Busta, Eminem and Chris Brown's 'Beautiful People'. On the other hand, I had a playlist dedicated to my favourite songs and hit singles, coincidently, loads of them had played all night long on that famous last night in Pylos --- It brought back good memories.

Anyway, we finally arrived at the modern town of Delphi, which is right at the bottom of MT. PARNASSUS. Glorious moment --- seeing that mountain was on the top of my list homeslices!

I got off the bus and had until 6PM to venture in Apollo's domain. Let the fun begin!
