Not much to write about today. Spent the day on buses and in bus stations:
Olympia - Pyrgos. There was supposed to be an express at 08:20. No bus until 08:40. The fare was €2.30. Can't understand why it cost €4.00 getting there.
Pyrgos to Kalamata. Got to Pyrgos at 09:10 and bought a ticket (€12.10) and waited for the bus. It was supposed to leave at 10:00 but eventually left at 10:16. Don't know why I am complaining. Had a delicious latte and cinnamon again. Toilets were disgusting.
Kalamata - Artemisia. That was only at 14:30, so I had a 2 hour wait. Bought the ticket (€2.50) and waited. It left on time! A really winding pass through some really spectacular scenery.
Artemisia- Sparta. When we got to Artemisia, we all got off the bus and waited about 10 minutes. A bus arrived from the opposite direction. All of the passengers got off and into our bus and we got into theirs. Bought the ticket (€3.50) and off we went. Some truly hair raising bends going up and down the mountainside. The entire trip from Kalamata to Sparta really was stunning. In the Artemisia file is a short clip of us negotiating the bends. Made it to Sparta in one piece at about 17:30. Booked into the Hotel Lakonia and then walked around for a bit, had dinner, explored some more, updated blog and now off to bed!
