Day One Thousand Seven Hundred and Twenty-Seven

 Wednesday 17th May 2017 - It was another cloudy day so instead of sitting by the pool waiting for the sun to come out, we went to Ancient Olynthos in Polygyros, where we found a cherry tree with ripe cherries to eat
 We walked up the hill and saw a wild tortoise and lots of birds. And then went to explore the ruins
Daddy said that people lived here over 2000 years ago
We picked and ate so many cherries that Mummy said we could count the stones with Tinker, Tailor, Soldier Sailor.. something she used to do with her Grandma. Not sure where fisherman came from!

Day One Thousand Seven Hundred and Eleven
