The Swan Whisperer had been going to go for a run this morning, but it poured, so he didn't. We had arranged to hire a car, so he went and got it and we were away by 09:45. We were headed to Sparta. The Sat-nav said it was far quicker to go up the motorway and dien the other side, but the cross - country road said no tolls, and we didn't fancy motorway tolls so went on this horrible, horrible road with hairpin bends everywhere, worse than the road between Die and the Vercors, worse even than that road in the Dolomites!
The Sat-nav took us to the wrong entrance to ancient Sparta and by the time we got there it s raining again and lunch time and the SW, who had a quick look, said he really thought one would learn more from Wikipedia. So we came away and found a cafė where we had a delicious lunch and then came home not over the mountains - I slept most of the way.
In the evening it was the first of the two official reunions, at our friend's house. It had stopped raining by then and we had a very pleasant evening with food, drink, and Greek dancers who performed traditional dances from all over Greece. And lots of chat with friends....
