Day 14: Last rude day. Well, that’s not right, is it. Last ride day. Better.
But there were some rude moments, that’s fur shure. Like a gorgeous downhill to start followed by a gritty, aggressive uphill. And sweaty or maybe that was rain? We left the small mountain resort Eardousia at Athanasios Eiakos (or alphabet soup) biking for Galaxidi on the coast.

Day 13: Northern Greece from Loutra Ypatis to in Athanasios Diakos. Really.

Day 12: Neochori to Loutra Ipatis. It’s all Greek to me.
Not much to say about this ride, rain let off a bit, but once you are wet on a bike, you are wet!!
Day 11! Meteora to Neochori

Day 9: A Greek ski resort town and the last day of sunshine – but plenty of the liquid kind coming up. Ioannina to Metzovo
GH010119[1] Lunch stop at a great little picnic area GH010121[2] Coming into Metzovo, very europeany. Is that a word? GH010122-2 Arriving in Metsovo, Greece, a wonderful little ski town. That said, the next day looked problematic, weather wise.
Some (mis)adventures
Day 7: On to Greece! Saranda to Ioanniana – another easy word to say.
I sound like I have marbles rolling around in my mouth when saying these names Crossing the border to Greece GH010111 Looks like Greece is taking covid a bit more seriously than Albania GH010112-1 And, finally, laundry day!
Day 6: A few mid-ride thoughts from Saranda, Albania. After riding from Valona.
GH010116[3] Jeez, they are everywhere you wanna be .. GH010109-2 Ok, so it is 5 minutes, we broke our 30 second rule, but what the hey
