Today our adventures in Greece begin! I have never been to Greece before, so I am very excited about this portion of our trip. We started off our morning by disembarking the ferry and heading out by bus to Patra where we enjoyed a wonderful lunch at a restaurant overlooking the beach. It was a great introduction to Greek cuisine (I became a huge fan by the end of the trip). We had a three course meal for lunch: calamari, greek salad, fish and potatoes. I was ranting and raving about the potatoes, and I will for quite some time, as they were the best I've ever eaten! After lunch, we walked down to the beach for some swimming. The view was amazing, and I got some great photographs. I just enjoyed the view while others were daring enough to jump in the waters. I'm not the best swimmer, and there were also sea urchins to be wary of, so I was reluctan
t to jump in. After a nice relaxing afternoon at the beach, we got back on the bus to head to Delphi. We checked into our hotel and then had some free time to explore. I think of all the hotels and towns we stayed in, this was my favorite. There were some really nice shops and places to see right outside the front door of the hotel. We walked around and did some souvenir shopping. After a few hours of free time, we enjoyed a nice dinner at the hotel. The majority of our group decided we wanted to explore the nightlife of Delphi, so we all got dressed up and headed out to a fun club down the road where we danced the night away! We were the only ones in the whole place, which I think was even better because we had a blast just having fun with our group. Today was a great start to our Greek adventure!
