Day 65: Nea Peramos, Greece







Stats...71.72km in 3hrs 41mins. Today was our day off... well it was supposed to be! We thought rather than having the whole day to relax on the beach we would get a few clicks up the road and then have the rest of the day off. However, as the road was right on the coast and very flat we kept going and going and going! We stopped for a while at a great spot on the beach under a grass roof shelter for lunch. We also attempted an internet stop but the very nice old lady who ran the place had no idea about computers and they did not want to work properly for us... frustrating. We made it to a campsite just before Nea Peramos and after paying we were shown to our spot which was the carpark so we got our money back and rode on. We got 5mins round the corner into the town and there was a slightly better campsite with a much nicer owner. We went to the beach and jumped straight in the sea then munched on a whole water melon between the three of us. We relaxed on a bench on the beach until the sunset then we retreated to the campsite for showers. We walked into the town for dinner in an extremely busy restaurant with the staff literally sprinting around the place all stressed with sweat pouring off them... it was madness. We gave up on ever being served and went to the counter and got a takeaway then sat at their tables to eat! After a pleasant stroll along the bustling seafront we crashed.
