Med Cruise - Apr 06 - Day 12 - Katakalon (Mt. Olympia)

Tuesday – 11th April – Olympia/KatakalonThis was our final stop. A small sleepy town, 38 kms away from Mt. Olympia, where the flame of the Olypic games is light (both summer and winter Olympics). We could not be bothered to go to that temple, at the base of Mount Olympia and walked around the town instead. Came across an interesting motorbike (BSA, 500cc, 1958), which I need to put on e-bay. Walked along the beach and saw lots of cute dogs chained in houses, which wanted to come out and play with us. Ended the trip with a nice snack of dolmades (wine leaves stuffed with rice) and fried mussels. Mmmmm……rest of the day was spent lazing around. Finally we had the farewell gala dinner and the captain came to toast us. The waiters came in with baked Alaska’s with sparklers on them. At midnight, they had ice sculptures and served the midnights buffet in the ship’s kitchens. It was an interesting sight to see the huge kitchen and the vast expanse of cold storages.
