Patras 100kms

  

It had been raining heavily last night so we thought we'd maybe make it to Kato Archaia., about 70kms away.

 As it happened. The biking was good, mostly flat and a warm sunny day. After an early start, 7am, by  12.00. We'd done 60kms and feeling good so we kept going for Patras

It wasn't just the fact that the rubbish was stretching out onto the road, it had little nasty's that gave me a flat Tyre. Damn, didn't need this today

The country sides getting more affluent now and I've counted 6 nice houses-that mow  their lawns 

Even  The gypsys are having a laundry day. Throwing their clothes into a flat paddling pool and dancing 

around on it in the water

leaking from an irrigation pipe.

Only 30 to go , we should make it!

 Stopped for some energy food

When you die on the road over here you don't just get a simple wooden cross Not here! Its a full blown monument

Carefully tended

Well we made it with an hour to spare .booked on , then were left to find our own way on board

€114 for the both of us, 16 hours and so we nabbed a couple of seats to sleep on. Christine let hers go for a little while and this great snoring machine took her place

We land in Bari at 9.30 am. Brindisi was €200 dearer for some reason. Yay Italy!
