At the end of the evening tour, we went to the best viewpoint on the rocks to watch the sun setting behind the mountain range of Pindos or according to Greek mythology, we saw the god Helios on his fiery chariot taking his horses to rest.

Random memory: Some 45-50 years ago, my dad sold and serviced #CPM machines, specifically #GeminiMicrocomputers from the #UK. His customers seemed to be primarily people connected to printing and the press. One guy represented a printing house, which I believe also doubled as a #Buddhist #monastery, and visited my dad's shop quite frequently.
The thing that triggered this memory, was that apart from #Buddhism and printing, my dad's customer - friend if I'm not mistaken - also did a bit of recreational programming. He was in fact the author of a Danish #Pacman clone called "Gufferen" which translates to something along the lines of "the muncher". At the time, it was a breath taking action game in 80x25 character resolution, and I'm absolutely gutted that I will probably never see it again.
Good times.
