Hades (Pluto)

You cross the River Styx by paying the Ferryman Charon with coins for him to ferry you across. - The Ferryman was on his lunchbreak, when we were there, so we didn't see him!! lol - We JUMPED across the River Styx. The sacreficial table was on the other side, leading to the 2 way door, further on was a maze of passages, eventually leading into a large circular area, which our powerful flashlights couldn't reach the other side, with lots of doors leading off. VERY easy to get lost down there. The place is HUGE!! - For further info, READ the book - "In the Footsteps of Orpheus" by RF Paget, available from any Library.
