I didn't expect, but due to the way the bus worked and good hitching suddenly on Tuesday afternoon I was in Olympia

- I arrived at the Freecamping at Elia Beach at 4pm, but it was too windy and too early. So started to hitch.
- lucky 1 - 3 carpet salesmen in a van gave me a lift ..they were going to Pyrgos, but instead of taking the main road they went via Oylympia and dropped me off right there. at 5.30pm
- lucky 2 - - I went up the main street to check the museum opening hours ..as in Greece it's always possible for some reason tomorrow it will be closed --when I arrived I found that it was open until 8pm and due to World Museum Day - the whole site and museums were free

- By 7.30pm I had seen everything

- Bad Luck - the idiot old man at Diana camping wanted too charge me $14 for camping despite the hostel in a better location is only $10 ..walked uphill and camped for $6.50Euro

- Bad Luck 2 - these idiot who work with tourists don't like toursits - the woman at the campsite was hostile - in the morning a Mercedes driving hostel hassled me

- Cos when I arrived at Pyrgos there was a train 4 hours later for a real bargain fare of $13 .. I thought I might aswell go straight to Korinth and pass through Patra as I have to come back to Patra to go to Corfu

- I think Pyrgos is quite a nice town - it was a pity that there was nowhere cheap to stay and so easy to leave my bag at the station and take the train out.

- complicated journey 3.15 hour train then transfer to bus cos track being repaired ...At Kialto station I realised it was easier to walk 1Km to take a bus rather than continue on the train to Korinth and then coem back to the camping in Lecheon

- The campsite owner was hostile

- as always the info was crap - I should have taken the train as the bus way meant bus to Corinth -

- The stupid driver of Renault Megane KPZ 9724 double parking ..so blocking bus - and almost causing me to miss the next bus- bus to Canal - bus back South to Napflio -

- At Canal none of the 3 cash machines within 1Km worked had to beg 30c
- I could have taken bus to station and then taken a train to Naplio faster and half the price !

- The museum has a good list of the days when Museums in Greece are Free

People who buy Harley Davidson's are advertising the fact they have a micro-pene

- I tracked down the "TheWeb Greek Internet Cafre Chain" their Patras branch has closed ...cheers I have $.50 in the account I can't use
