After a day full of rain we finally arrived in Tolo. Our hotel was right by the water, which was crystal clear. Thankfully after dinner the rain stopped and we could go walk around and see the shops surrounding the hotel. I think the best part of our hotel stay in Tolo was being able to wake up and walk out on to the balcony. You saw an incredible view of the mountains, the water, and all of the boats that were docked. It was nice to finally be able to see the sights we missed when we arrived in the dark. We packed up and headed off to the 4th century b.c. theatre and archaeological site at Mycenae. We saw the lion gate, the tomb of Agammemnon, and the Cyclopena wall. The tomb was really interesting. It was a dome made of stone where famous Greeks were placed once they died. They were covered with gold, due to the great amount of gold they had. It's interesting to learn that these people weren't buried or wrapped up in a mummy state like many other counties do to the dead.
