Today I’m in Katakolon, Greece. As a port, it’s not particularly interesting, but about 30 minutes away is the site of the first Olympic Games, called Olympia.<\/p>\n

\nFor those following this blog, you’ll notice I did a few cruises in April, but never posted the photos, and now I’m finally getting around to it. Today my only plan is to sit in a cafe and use the internet, but back in April, myself and some other entertainers from the Prinsendam went on a mini-adventure to Olympus.<\/p>\n

\nThree cruise ships in the harbor.
\n\"Three<\/p>\n

\nI didn’t take a horse and carriage ride.
\n\"I<\/p>\n

\nOn the train.
\n\"On<\/p>\n

\nYou’re not allowed to take bags into the Olypus site.
\n\"You're<\/p>\n

\nBlossoms and rocks.
\n\"Blossoms<\/p>\n

\nColumns.
\n\"Columns.\"<\/p>\n

\nPhoto opportunity!
\n\"Photo<\/p>\n

\nMore columns.
\n\"More<\/p>\n

\nThe olympic arena.
\n\"The<\/p>\n

\nMe on the start line.
\n\"Me<\/p>\n

\nLining up for a race…
\n\"Lining<\/p>\n

\nJust for the photo.
\n\"Just<\/p>\n

\nWe never did have a race.
\n\"We<\/p>\n

\nPiles and piles and piles of rocks. I mean ruins.
\n\"Piles<\/p>\n

\nI got a video of me juggling here. Before being told to stop by the security guards. In fact, if you did ANYTHING other than walk and look, they told you to stop.
\n\"I<\/p>\n

\nA bit of this column is missing.
\n\"A<\/p>\n

\nIt was great to visit so early in the season, as there were very few other tourists. On a day like today it will be heaving with humanity.
\n\"It<\/p>\n

\nThen I had no more rocks to photograph, so I switched to photographing people.
\n\"Then<\/p>\n
