Delphi- Apollo's Temple

We behaved like tourists and went up to Delphi on the early bus. First attempt failed as the alarm clock was still in Italy but here we have time, so we went the next day.

The bus passed miles and miles of olive plantations, then contoured high up along the mountain side, the view opening up to a sea of silver-green in the valley. How can they possibly pick that many olives? It was only 8am as we walked over the Delphi site, the early light superb over the backdrop of scraggy peaks and ancient architecture. People once flocked from all corners of civilisation to seek advice from the god and oracle Apollo and they took in a bit of light entertainment at the amphitheatre and stadium.
