North west again. It took us longer than we figured to get to Delphi arriving about 13:30.

We wondered around the ruins. These were on very steep ground, Another temple for Apollo and a number of treasuries. 
 
The stadium was fenced off which was a disappointment as it was something we had wanted to see. The gymnasium was below the road and 100m back the way we had come.








 

One Votive was of a huge figure of a griffin with wings and face of a woman, she sat on a pedestal 7m high.
 











The museum held a lot of the finds and was quiet interesting. A whole bronze Charioteer was found under ruble caused by and earthquake. Only small parts of the chariot and horses were found.












 We wanted to go north on yellow but the closer ones had sections of white. Well we finally got to the white road and yes it was white. Covered in snow at 1200m with another 400 vertical to go. Not a good idea, so camped on a flattened area for the night.
