The train is winding its way through the hills, crossing small bridges and passing through little tunnels. It's a modern two-car commuter train, in style at least, though we're actually going quite some distance, inland, and then northeast towards Argos and Athens. The bright green of the olive trees and darker green of the cypresses are enlivened by a purple flowering tree that seems quite common, and by ground flowers of yellow and white.

Sitting across the aisle from me is Pascale, a Swiss woman on a solo trek around Greece for a month. She's also heading to Nafplion, so maybe we'll do some sightseeing together.
