Delphi – the navel of the world

Greece
Day Two: Delphi
Too much to write about this place and I’m already a day behind my itinerary, so you’ll have to wait until the travelogue for any detailed account.
There is just one thing to note though – I shamefully beat my photography record set by Ephesus last March by around 200 photos! Today I took just over 700 photos!
Still, you can be assured once again that my travelogues contain the most extensive set of photos of any archaeology site available on the internet, and that’s the whole point of doing all of this work!
More to follow, I’ll keep you posted. I was travelling south tomorrow morning but may well now take a detour to Thermopylae for yet another famous battleground….
