Up and out at 9.00 am to visit the Sanctuary of Apollo.  Three hours viewing the temple and museum.  Then a quick stop at the Sanctuary of Athena Pronaia for some more pictures.  We had a lunch of Greek Salad and water.  Selina had a lunch of rice and vegetables.  It was a bit hotter today.  After lunch there was a change around on the coach.  We lost the Australians, and gained some new people for the trip to Meterora.

We left at 2.15, down the hill, through the olive grove towards Aphisah, the market town at the head of the olive grove.  Stopped at 3.45 at a roadside caff. I had coffee and a cake, R&S had a noughat thing, water etc.  This caff was just before a town in a fertile plain, the sea was close on the East.  The caff was bedlam, with lots of trays of weird food lying around, and seemingly no where to pay.

We then started off in the next range of hills, passed a gypsey camp.  This was deserted because of the peach harvest. Then we were on the plain of Thesaly.  This was surrounded by mountains all around.  The plain was huge, all irrigated.  The crops were mainly tobacco and cotton.

 We eventually arrived under Meteora in the town of Kalambaka.  Supper was at 8.00.  This was two unknown, but tasty savory cheese things, pork for the main course, then ouzo on the balcony.  The hotel had a pool.  We did not use it. .

This was the view out the the bedroom window.  The Meteora rocks.
