Feb 2008

Arrived at Athens airport, assembled my bike (causing quite a bit of trash from my sophisticated plastic wrapping). Three attempts to exit the airport area, two unsuccessful ones and the third one illegal through permission restricted maintenance terrain. Probably not the last time to realize that modern transportation infrastructure can be fairly disregardful of cyclists.
Greece welcomed me at chilly temperatures, rain, a sky soon falling very dark and a very strong headwind in the direction of Loutsa where I decided to rent a room. No photo inspiration yet. Let's hope for a better day tomorrow.
Otherwise Greece is all TABEPNA, Souvlaki, Gyros, Pita and the rest of it. Still appreciate it!

Thank you for all the bon voyages I received over the past days!
Frost forecasted even in Athens for the weekend for. After this things can only get warmer: cold morning (-11C) on departure day here in Vantaa.
