I got an Uber to the bus station, I had two credit cards with me today. I must have walked too far yesterday because I have a twinge on the left side of my foot, so I’m not going to do too much today.

At Corinth there is a very large archaeological site but I think I’ll give it a miss, I don’t believe that there is anything really specific that needs to be seen and so for that reason I’ll go as far as the canal.

I have this image in my head of a very large ship heading through the canal and there is very little room either side for error. It was cut through sold rock and the sides are slightly angled for structural reasons but I think that this is a marvel of the modern age.

The ancient mariners had thought about constructing a canal here but it was not until 1891 that work finally got underway and it was first used in 1893.
