Cruise 2015 - Day 4

Another tour this morning. Of to see the ruin of Mycenae.

Tour guide gave a potted history of Greece after explaining why the town's were so far inland.
Spent more than enough time in the museum hearing about pots and some jewellery but most of the items were replicas with the originals in foreign shores. Guide did explain how Homer's books tied in with the actual cities if not with the people.

Finally got to see some of the ruins of Mycenae but with not much time left it was a bit of a rush. 


Then out to see one of the tombs. Above ground, conical. Like low tech Irish passage graves, without the clever alignment.

Back onto the bus for a photo stop at the Corinth canal then back to the ship.



After food it was back into modern Corinth but since it's Sunday almost everything is closed.

Back to the ship for pool, food drink,show cocktails.
