Route Olympia - China
on lent's travel map.
Spent the entire day in the city, walking around the Acropolis and the ancient Agora. For somebody from Finland it is interesting to see how locals relate to snowy, icy and slippery roads. Luckily a bright sunny day that made more than up the cold temperatures. This picture is special souvenir from Athens: Acropolis with sugar topping
In the afternoon I took a metro ride back to the airport in order to collect my additional luggage and to learn that the Lithuanians' flight is delayed until late tonight. Athens airport just can't cope with the snow.
The car crew has been riding from Wroclaw since Sunday morning and should arrive here in Athens at around midnight. The countdown for the departure has started, but tomorrow we first have to get bikes, luggage, car and of course ourselves to Olympia.

I'm looking forward to reading your blog. I'm the news editor of a Greek American newspaper in the US, have visited Turkey and Kazhakstan and lived in China for a year. We are publishing an article about your trip, and would love to have updates along the way. Please let the cyclists from the US and Greece know that we'd like to hear from them too.
