Left the hotel and drove to the Gulf of Corinth and crossed the bridge.   Stopped for petrol and took a picture of the bridge, too difficult to stop to get the definitive view.  

Some young swallows were waiting on the line to be fed

We looked for a Freyer's Grayling in the pinewoods above the quay.   We saw one on the bark of a tree on the left.   Can you see it?   Close-up on the right

We arrived in Delphi and settled in a the new hotel called the Fedriades.   Good wi-fi and a BATH.

Some of us went to the start of a walk in the van then on foot.   We came back early as the going was very slippery and we had not brought sticks.

I split my trousers crouching down to take a picture of the verbascum rosette on the right, fortunately my underpants were large and decent.   Ros took a record shot.
