It turned out our hosts live just bellow Panas cave on Mt Parnitha, which wasnt so surprising to me and i was eager for a look. John takes us for a trip out to Thermopolis to the hot springs to soak our bones before the big trip. It was amazing sitting in the forty degrees water while the rain drizzled in the cold atmosphere of a miserable day. We are instructed to only stay in the water for twenty minutes and unbelievably it's snowing on the way home over the mountains.
My body is ready, the only problem is a toothache banging away at my head. We experiment with the best ways to pack our kit but give up and enjoy another fabulous meal courtesy of Jo.
I never did get to look round pans cave but amazingly the morning we left we could see a patch of light shining on the cave entrance though the murky sky. I will be back...
Dana drops me in Patras with small shopping list and takes Jamie to the air port. I scramble round the city as everything falls into place and i'm starting to fall in love with Greece. My tooth is still banging my head. We ride the bus down to Olympia and camp out before we begin proper.
