July 26th - On our way to Athens

Drink on board!
Drink on board!

Today will be difficult - 600km south until Athens, mostly highway, the temperature is 40 degrees and I forgot to mention we went for some beers last night, so did not slept enough.

We ride 200km until Volgo where we stopped for a sea view lunch. Nothing special except our nice encounter with 2 french skippers who kindly invite us on their boat for a refreshing drink. We exchanged our war stories and get some advises about Greece, where to go, what to do....It was cool !

Nico, taking a nap on the road ;)

The after Volgo was long, hot and boring...Only toll gates keeps us awake. In Greece, no cards from the toll you came in but you pay often small amounts... At the end of the day, its quite a lot of money in fact...Welcome to Europe :(

Something annoying is also the fact that, petrol station are rare and often out of the highway...

We finally reached Athens around 8pm, checked In, shower, quick diner and went straight to sleep...
