2015. Yo ho ho and away we go

Right oh. The goal this year is to bike from Athens to London. 
If you look at the map, we plan to go south to Kalamata, up the west coast to Olympia and then to Patras. Ferry to Italy , across to Pompeii ,Rome, through Tuscany to Pisa,then ferry to Corsica.
  Ferry to Marseille,west to Toulouse, Bordeaux , then up the west coast to the Channel Islands and finishing in London
  Here's hoping !
We're taking the old bikes this year, heavier wheels and lower gears for those Italian hills. Wrapping them in plastic so we can still wheel them. We must be getting old !!
Ash ran us up to Auckland but unbelievably he forgot the name of the motel. What a .....!
4am to catch the shuttle . When we got to Melbourne the man at luggage check in refused to take the bikes unless we put them in a box ? Finally got him overruled but worth noting that if you're taking bikes into Australia, put some cardboard over some of them.
Perth !  Susan arrived from Sydney at the same time. Elisia was there to meet us.
  We're here for a week with Peter Elisia and family, Jacob and Eli
