We left Brindise in the evening and 18 hours later we reached Patras in the noon time. Very fast we were back on the road and have looked for an overnight spot directly at the beach. But before we needed something to eat and found an excellent family restaurant in Manolada and we were able to eat local specialities together with the local family. 

In the afternoon we found our overnight spot at the beach of Manolada, Paralia Manolada. A wonderful spot where we enjoyed the sunset and the freedom.

Today we reached one of the famous spots worldwide "Olympia" in Archea Olymbia. Olympia is human history. I know so many stories about Olympia, from comics as child, movies as teen, books as student and from documentation movies as adult. And at this day I was here in person. We marveled the statues, the temples, one of the seven wonders of the world and the historical sports facilities. My highlight was the race with my kids at the historical course.

Our overnight spot was a campground with swimming pool close to Olympia.
