Transfer to Olympia

Still snowy in Athens. I only now understand the mess caused by the airport closure yeserday which caused many BC members to arrive with great delay in Greece. It's a coincidence that that Sigitas (tour leader), the car crew and some other members decide to stay the night at the same hostel that I had chosen two days earlier.
After loading the van with all the extra luggage I departed with John from Ireland to the railway station and off to Pirgoson a six hour narrow gauge Pelopennesian train trip. Beautiful scenery along the cost and the many orange orchards along the way let us forget the snow and ice chaos of Athens quickly. I ride into paradise thus.
