Daytime Crossing of Corinth Canal
Day 9: Daytime crossing of Corinth Canal
Sailing through the Corinth Canal not once but twice was a breath taking experience. I honestly can't decide if I preferred the night time or day time crossing. Both were simply incredible.

Night Crossing of Corinth Canal
Day 4: Corinth Canal
Honestly, this needed its only post. The view, the history - INCREDIBLE!
Early this morning at 2:30AM (it’s currently 10:50AM) we picked up the port pilot and crossed t he Corinth Canal.
The Corinth Canal is an artificial canal in Greece that connects the Gulf of Corinth in the Ionian Sea with the Saronic Gulf in the Aegean Sea. It cuts through the narrow Isthmus of Corinth and separates the Peloponnese from the Greek mainland, making the peninsula an island. The canal was dug through the Isthmus at sea level and has no locks. It is 6.4 kilometres (4 miles) in length and only 24.6 metres (80.7 feet) wide at sea level, making it impassable for many modern ships.
The Corinth canal concept originated with Periander of Corinth in the 7th century BC. Daunted by its enormity, he chose to implement the Diolkos, a land trackway for transporting ships, instead. Construction of a canal finally began under Roman Emperor Nero in 67 AD, using Jewish prisoners captured during the First Jewish–Roman War. However, the project ceased shortly after his death. In subsequent centuries, the idea intrigued figures like Herodes Atticus in the second century and, following their conquest of the Peloponnese in 1687, the Venetians. Despite their interest, neither of them undertook the construction.
Construction finally re commenced in 1881, but was hampered by geological and financial problems that bankrupted the original builders. It was completed in 1893, but, due to the canal's narrowness, navigational problems, and periodic closures to repair landslides from its steep walls, it failed to attract the level of traffic expected by its operators.
Because the canal is difficult to navigate for large vessels, it is mostly used by smaller recreational boats.

Don’t forget to track Santa tonight!
The H Family will be headed to Animal Kingdom Lodge - Kidani for a fall getaway! They will step into the heart of Africa at this magnificent Resort hotel. Inspired by the traditional African kraal, the horseshoe-curved design provides spectacular views of 4 lush savannas that over 200 hoofed animals and birds call home. ✨
They will be staying in a One Bedroom Savanna View villa where they can wake up, walk out on their balcony, and enjoy the view of the animals. 😍Our favorites are the giraffes! 🦒
During their trip, they will be able to experience the Food & Wine festival, fall and halloween 🎃 decor, and hopefully a special themed Halloween event!
It's National Waffle Day, and Mickey waffles are the ONLY way to have waffles in my opinion 😉
Happy Jewel Day!
Let's celebrate with a small feature of Seven Dwarfs Mine Train in Magic Kingdom 🏰
Happy National Pizza Day 🍕
It doesn't even seem fair that we only get one pizza day per year. Pretty sure it should be once per week, but that's neither here nor there 😜
Pizza from Disney's Boardwalk is the perfect lunch for a pool day while staying in the EPCOT resort area! 😋
Appreciate a dragon day 🐉
Maleficent is my favorite villain, so it’s only appropriate to share a video of her dragon from Boo Bash 2021 🔥
All set up and ready for this Disney flash event at Enamored, LLC! 🏰✨
Check out Epic Live! Performing on the America Gardens stage in EPCOT! 🎤
One of my favorite things about EPCOT has always been the live performances! 🎶
