Greece played several April Fool's Day jokes on us today. We wanted to go to ancient Mycenae, on the Pelopponese, so we got up early to get on a 9:30 bus. But we were a little late, and the bus was already full, so we had to wait for the 10:30. So we got to Nafplio, which is the town near ancient Mycenae, at around 1:00pm. And the next bus for Mycenae left at 2. We bought tickets before we asked how long the bus took, and when the last bus from Mycenae to Nafplio was. The answers? One hour, and 3pm. So we didn't go to ancient Mycenae. Sad.
Instead, we found this castle on a hilltop! Cool! We decided to climb up to it. But it was already 2 by then, and we noticed a sign at the bottom of the stairs that said the castle was closing at 2:30pm. So we practically RAN up about 1000 stairs in 20 minutes. But we made it! Pretty view, isn't it?
