Just sitting here typing in the ship's computer lab looking out over the fishing village on the west coast of the Greek Pelopenesian (sp?) peninsula. Ah, this is the life! The sun is shining, the water is blue and the town with it's many fishing boats is very quaint.
Because of the rocky terrain we weren't able to go to the ancient Olympic site. We opted instead for a tour of a local winery with, of course, much wine tasting. The Mercouri Winery has been in operation since 1864 and has a wonderful view down to the Ionian Sea. Our tour guide was from, of all places, Scotland! He was really cute with a fun accent (sorry, Jenny, he wouldn't fit in my suitcase!). When the tour and tasting were finished, we were able to take any leftover bottles of wine back with us to the ship. Mom grabbed an almost full bottle of white wine so we are set for afternoon cocktails!
We'll be leaving port in about an hour. We'll spend the rest of the afternoon at another cooking demonstration - Greek Cuisine - and then off for a rousing game of bingo. It's formal night in the dining room, so we'll have to get dressed up for dinner. Tomorrow - Santorini.
