Korinthos and nearby towns...

We drove to the Peloponnese region... Visiting Korinthos and nearby towns... Passing by the Korinth Canal which was beautiful! whew... once again... lots of blue...

We stayed overnight at Loutraki... a nice town along the waters...



We woke up and our room overlooks the sea.... how to miss another shot... heheh...


Just before we drive on... another shot...


That's the Korinth Canal!!! They cut up this canal, so that ships can pass through more easily, instead of having to take a long re-route...


Pose! hehe... big head picture! too close lah... coz' restricted by the railings... anyway, they do bungee jump here... hahhaha... you dare??



Just one more...



At the other end of the canal... a bridge... with nice mirror images of the scenery cast on the waters..



The Ancient Korinthos site...


Ancient parts left behind of the Roman Odeum...



The sign speaks for itself.. strike a pose...



Stones... of the ancient theatre...



Doggie came by to have a shot with me... hhahaha...



Kevin went down to take a closer look... hahhaha... I just helped to take the picture from the top...



The Korinthos new town by the waters...



The nice pillars once again... Kevin... under the sun... hee.. open your eyes!



Dome ruins...



With Lynnette and Isaac...


Bringing the pillars again... solo shot... Against the blue sky, white clouds...



Overwhelmed with stones...



More stones...


The museum with statues... headless...



Funny faces outside the museum...



Climbing up a castle, but it was closed... so quick, get a shot first...



The slope down...



My turn.. been here.. done it... (ok, almost done it... hehehe... didn't seen it on the inside... but we will be back..)



Posing with Isaac...



Passing by the beach in Loutraki again..


Nice waves!!!


It was winter and cold, so we couldn't siwm.. a pity... one thing though, their beach was not sandy... it was made up of small pebbles... a little rough to lie down for sun tan... hahahh...



The cafes along the streets in Loutraki, with the luxury of nice mountain and lake views...



Another ancient site... that was peaceful... untouched... close to nature...



A shot together...



The sun sets and casts a warm light on the stones...


Kevin at the tip...



AAAHHHH... Kevin and Isaac...



Kevin against the sun set... and against all odds...


We come together...


Sweetness... Till then... :)
