Birthday in Katakolon
This is the gateway to Ancient Olympia and we intended to do a self guided tour. However it was the hottest day of the cruise and we were all too tired to make the effort. Instead we walked along the promenade until we found the very interesting Museum of Ancient Greek technology. Unfortunately it was just about to close but we had enough time to witness the water powered alarm clock and I bought myself another birthday present of a Pythagoras Cup. It was invented to teach his students not to drink to excess.
We had a fishy octopus and Greek dips lunch at a Greek Tavern before taking the tender back to Equinox. The staff in Cafe Bacio surprised and embarrassed me with a of plate of cakes and a rousing rendition of happy birthday.
We finished the day with an outstanding birthday dinner at Murano, featuring the signature lobster for Mark and I and Dover Sole for Rosemary and Katie, prepared table side. Not to mention another birthday cake, with candle but without the song.
Another very memorable birthday with the family.
