Ah yes, fogot about Capaldi. Remember him mostly with Traffic. Played with many other top musicians. Excellent backing.
Went to Corinth, took a look at theti Canal, an impressive engineering feat and a wonderful sight to see the boats going thru. Did Ancient Corinth and afterwards climbed Acrocorinth-fabulous view from the top of both the Saronic and Corinthian Gulfs. Stayed in Nafplio while there went to Epidavros-impressive and still in use today. Liked Nafplio and enjoyed cllmbing up the 750 stairs to the top of the defending fort-glad i was not carrying a bloody big broad sword. Drove the Mani pennisula to Movevasia then on to Limeni. Stayed in Stoupa for a few nights which was a favorite of my deceased brother, lots of Brits there suspect we were the only Yanks-a lovely spot. Drove to Pylos and on the way stopped at Ancient Messini which has impressive ruins and a fairly intact running track with a gymnasium. And the remains of their version of Albert Ave that had heated floors and walls and was in use for over a 1000 years. Always amuses me that the Romans had central heating in Britain but the recipe was lost when they left and we did not get it back until the 1960's or theraabouts. Visited Methoni with its impressive Fort. Ended up for our final 4 nights on the Athens Riviera was there on a holiday weekend with the weather warm so the whole of Athens turned out and the dual carriage way that circles the coast was a racetrack with plenty of speed records being broken by all and sundry. While there visited the Temple of Poseidon another impressive site on the top of a prominotory-unfortunately i did not manage to find Lord Byrons Grafiti signnature. Thanks for the tips.
