Today we planned to visit the salt museum near town. Missolonghi has been a center of salt production for centuries, and the salt museum is very highly recommended. The four of us planned to meet up and walk out to the museum which is located on a spit of land connected by a two mile long causeway to the mainland. It was going to be about a 5 mile roundtrip, but there is a wide sidewalk and bike path along the causeway so we decided it would be worth it.
The walk was long but Ovi and I were engrossed in our conversation so it did not seem that bad. At about the half way point we looked back and Cory and Ton had lagged about a quarter mile behind but we could here them laughing as they talked so we carried on without waiting.
At the end of the causeway there is a small fishing village with a church and two pretty modern restaurants. We were quite a ways ahead of Cory and Ton so we popped into one of the restaurants to plan our lunch. Inside one of the staff told us the museum was closed on Tuesday. We both looked at each other and debated who was going to tell the wives that we had just walked 2.5 miles to a museum that was closed. When they arrived we dropped the news and they just laughed and said let’s have lunch. Three hours later we had finished our lunch and enjoyed a nice 2.5 mile stroll back to our homes in the marina.
We are going to head out to the salt museum again tomorrow. Hopefully the walk will be just as enjoyable as today.
