In the Corinth canal








Here are some photos from the boat ride in the Corinth canal, there where these small "beaches" that I'm guessing where created from landslides and huge holes inside the mountain sides. I loved the color of the waters in these parts, such a light blue! When we where under the Isthmus bridge there where people on it you can see them waving back at us, there were also a lot of seagulls flying around too fast for me to capture them in a photo. The last photo is from the back of the boat as we are exiting the canal only to turn and cross it again. It was such fun, I do hope I get to go on more of these mini trips this summer!
have a great day,

Monday moodboard - A boat ride

Yesterday we went on a little trip and it included an amazing boat ride under the Isthmus bridge, what we call the Corinth canal. It was really beautiful, I think I took about 150 photos of the 1 hour long boat ride. We started from a point in the one end of the canal and went out to sea where the boat made a turn and entered the canal to cross it for the first time, then we came out to sea from the other end where it made another turn and went and crossed it again so that we could go back to where we started. It was pretty awesome and I do love boat rides so much, we were also very lucky because the weather was great, sunny but not too warm.
The trip also included a visit to the ancient city of Corinth and it's museum, I really enjoyed going there as well but what I did miss was going to the Acrocorinth castle, by that time the weather had changed completely and it was raining heavily. I was really bummed, going to that castle has been in my wish list for a long time, it's on the top of a big mountain and the view must be amazing. Well, I can make plans for another trip, now that I came that close I just want it more :-)
All in all I took around 300 photos, when I get around to editing them I'll definitely post some.

Have a great week,
