Methana was lovely and quiet but a total let down with the hot baths closed and ending up in a health spa with the water luke warm at best possibly because of the rain. Decided to head to Patra after my flight was canceled because of a air traffic controllers strike here in Greece from patra taking the boat to Venice where I hope to get the train onto Paris and then to Ashford. Stopped in Naypilio last night and this morning headed to the Heinkon pyramid its actually older than any in Egypt but no where as big. It had terrific views but its use is unclear, possibly a lookout tower. Spending some time there for lunch and exploring the area I actually found a secret hiding place by the doorway into the main chamber, I was wondering what it was used for there was nothing inside like treasure but exciting all the same. In the end I assumed it was maybe a place for a key if they had locks then or the stone that covers the cavity was used to prop the door open or possibly a space for offerings to the gods. But what ever the use the craftsmanship was impeccable.
