The Trip that wasn't to be.....

Today we were meant to travel from Kalavryta back west towards Athens to Korinthos, then catch a bus and drive 4 hours south down the Pelopenesse to the coastal town of Monemvasia.

Well that was the plan anyway but sometimes plans just don’t eventuate…….For a couple of days now I have been suffering from a minor case of stomach pains but today (of all days) it exploded into more severe pains, so here we were en route to Korinthos and I’m suffering from sharp stomach pains! Oh great!

After some deliberation and the very thought of being stuck on a bus for 4 hours we decided it was wiser to head back to Kalavryta and see a doctor.Before I even realised Grigoria’s mother had called a friend and asked him to call the head doctor at the hospital to be ready to see us upon arrival.

So here I was on our lovely Greek holiday lying in a hospital room being pocked and prodded, it wasn’t exactly what I had signed up I thought!?
The diagnosis…..well not worth mentioning but the end result meant I would be spending the next 48 hours on chicken soup, rice & bread.

So with Monemvasia now off the itinerary, I think we’ll move to ‘Plan B’……some ancient ruins…
