Rant of the day:where have all the toilet seats gone? Why are Italian public toilets bereft of toilet seats?
Today we have our guided tour of the valley of the temples with our guide Giovanna; it is a bit like walking with a tape recorder, though the tape recorder has probably more interest in us. Anyway, she certainly knows her stuff.

| Temple Concordia-designed on the golden ratio |
 |
| Horny local goat |
 |
| Pistachio |
 |
| Remains of Tempe of Zeus which was 7 times larger than the Concordia Temple! |
Following a traditional break for some really fine gelato we make our way to the archeology museum which is full of seriously old stuff.
 |
| Only surviving statue used to hold up Temple of Zeus |
 |
| Model of temple of Zeus-note statues! |
 |
| What was this used for? |
Dinner tonight is at a nearby trattoria. Your Italian certainly have a way with pasta.
