Stats... 107.28km in 6hrs. We up and left at 8am only to stop 1.6km up the road for breakfast on a comfy sofa outside a closed restaurant. We carried on for 20km to Kavala where had an internet and ATM break. We biked on to Krini where we were all feeling hot, hungry and exhausted so we had meatballs and veal with chips and as much fizzy drinks as we could consume! We made it to 6km outside of Xanthi before we found a closed garage and slept in the shade on the forecourt. We turned off the busy highway onto small country roads that weaved across to Lagos. Although sign posting was not so great we found our way with the help of Bas who flagged down cars and asked several locals for directions. A very nice man gave us a bottle of water as we witnessed his friend boast about the size of his humungous fish he had just caught! We endured a few hills that were not so bad and joined the highway again into the Port of Lagos. We saw plenty of stalks along the way which we believe may have been delivering babies across the country. We did a supermarket sweep and found the Lagos beach which was nicely concealed by a tree area. Socks and shoes off, beer in one hand and a lump of feta cheese in the other we paddled in the sea and chatted until the sunset. We cooked pasta on the beach as the water retreated then found a nice spot in the trees to camp.
