NCL Jade bypass Katakolon Olympia due to a big fire in the area.

The ship is now heading to Corfu, a day earlier.

Things are not looking good for Ancient Olympia site.

Do you haveany more information about the itinerary change?

Reports are saying that the fire is only 500 meters from the Archeological Museum of Olympia! OMG!

Terrible.  I hope none of the historic treasures are lost.

Oh no.

 

I did run men's 100m at the Olympics (actually should say at the Olympics site). 

 

There isn't a forest of trees at the site, but some trees inside and surrounding.  Hope there won't be some real damage to the area.

There are though near the museum, which is the main attraction. I hope they use replicas in the museum and no the real ones. I think most museums do this for protection of the real ones. Good thing it is not so windy in the area right now, but the fire is big. So the situation is  still critical. Tommorow we will know more. If the planes early morning start throwing water they will control it quickly.
