Day 6: June 20, 2023
Hello everyone!!
Kalimera, good morning in Greek!!
Here we are, it's been quite a long day, but we are enjoying our time in Tolo, a beach town in west coast of Greece.
So last night everyone did their best to sleep in the ferry, some slept well, some didn't, the motion is something you need to get used to!
Right after disembarking we found Kostas, our driver, waiting for us next to his coach, so we loaded it and began our trip to the day's visit: the ruins of Olympia, the birth place of the Olympic Games!!
It's absolutely amazing to find yourself in a place that was working as a huge meeting place for athletes, trainers, families... Up to 45.000 people met here for the Olympic games... Almost 3000 years ago!! And here you can see the ruins of that as it was in the past!! I can tell your there was a special atmosphere around.
And we had our own Olympic games! When we got into the stadium, Elena, our guide, prepared a race for us, so we will call our Olympic games as they did in the pat: with the name of the winner. So, our games have been Braeden's Olympic Games!!
And after the games, Kostas took us to a great restaurant to celebrate our games, and boy they loved it!
We are all Olympic today!!
