Greece

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.

Snowy awakening this morning. Just a reminder: I left Finland yesterday with close to zero snow on the ground at least in Vantaa and arrived to Greece in full winter. Some flurries in the morning, but with increasing altitude on the Marathon Highway snowfall got really dense. I am learning to take advantage of my VDO MC 1.0 Bike Computer that tells me the altitude (barometric measurement), height metres as well gradients.

Todays maximum altitude 257 asl along the 40 km route from Loutsa to Athens. A really interesting view was of course the orange and lemon orchards covered in white. Driving is fairly dangerous not because of slippery roads (they weren't; temperatures mostly above freezing point) but because of unaccustomed motorists and lacking maintenance. Finally I made my way to a youth hostel near Omonio square in central Athens.
By the way: apart from my own one, I haven't seen a single bicycle in Greece yet!

Under the following I keep testing the benefit of GPS-tracking and geotagged photos:

I appreciate your feedback on it!
