We checked out of our Athens hotel and signed the car papers for the Peloponnese portion of our trip. We had the car company deliver the car to our hotel so we didn't have to schlep our backpack and all of our other gear onto a metro. Great decision!
We drove (I should say "I" here because I am the sole driver now that Lauri isn't with us.... The best laid plans....) the hour + to Corinth from Athens. I managed to escape the worst of Athens driving because we got out of town before most Athenians' day had started.
We drove straight to our place in Corinth and because it was before 11 am our room wasn't ready. We decided to go to see the Corinth site and have some lunch before we returned to our pension. I sat outside the site in a small park and enjoyed a few moments of solitude and a snack while Deiann, Danielle and Kim toured the site I had seen 5 weeks before. We shopped the Main Street (about 6 small souvenir shops). The other three ladies enjoyed 2 euro gyros in the park and then we returned to unload our bags in our room.
Our rooms at the pension turned out to be the most spacious rooms yet except for our stay at Grandmas House. Our suite has two bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths. We booked it planning to have two extra people so we had even more space than expected.
Kim stayed back at the rooms for some solitude while the rest of us went to the train station to purchase the departing sisters' tickets back to Athens. After the train station we drove through modern Corinth and found a small beach for our afternoon swim. We spent the evening hanging around taking care of various tasks and the girls packed up the extra items their mom decided were't necessary to her for the rest of our trip.
