Into the plain of Argolis

59 km to ancient Mycenae. Today ultimately losing the height gained during the last two days but with a spectacular view into the plain of Argolis and ancient Mycenae as the final destination. A camping site and the first (if only cold) shower after three days of biking! Tourist infrastructure very developed, but at this time of the year most places seem to be closed. Luckily not the internet cafe in nerby Fehti, where I'm sitting right now....

By the way, this is how my Sony SK1 tracker works. It record position and time every fifteen seconds (as long as there is power, battery supply requires some planning and follow-up, even though the device should be running for 14 hours on one AA 1.2V battery). If you watch a close-up of the track you will notice that it doesn't fit the roads of the database (Google Maps or whatever you choose) terribly precisely, but that's not because of off-road cycling but rather because of reflection effects (GPS picking up signal not straight from the sky but from a reflecting surface nearby). I'll try to monitor the quality of the track in different environments over the next few weeks.
