9/27-9/28---Nafplion to Mycenae


 We had a nice rest in this charming place. It appears tourist season is pretty much over here as we were the only guests in the hotel the first night---a couple came the following nights. Streets are fairly empty as well as the sidewalk cafes. We had a disappointing meal last night. Hope for better tonight. We found an Italian restaurant, but he didn’t serve until 8pm. We went back and had a really good wood-fired pizza and a pretty good house wine. We are deciding what to do next. We might fly to Milan, take a train over to France, take a ferry from Patra to Venice. Who knows.?? The travel agent quit at 3:30 just as we wanted some info. We will go to the Mycenaen ruins tomorrow as well as Epidaurus and hope to get to Athens on Saturday to fly out, or Patras and ferry out. The concierge is off doing something. We had to use our key to get in after coming back from lunch. We were given a key to the front door. We did take the bus to Mycenae. There were umpteen tour buses there. We did not go to Epidaurus---tired of old rocks and tourists and it meant we would have to stay another day in Nafplion.
