Yesterday the 6th we drove through some amazing farming country again along the coast shadowed by hills. The soil appears to be very fertile growing cereal crops & market gardens.
The streets are still very narrow in every town we drive through & some defensive driving was required at times. We are travelling with the 2 jeeps of Mick & Graeme in one, Hans Spranger & his brother Jan in the other. Hans is in the lead jeep navigating us around sight seeing and from town to town. We diverted off the freeway and took a lesser road through again more farming country and hills, some covered in snow. Last night as we lay in bed you could hear the waves rolling up on the beach, that is how close we are at our camp. Unlike in Australia, they build very close to the shore.
Up at 0600 hrs to get ready for very long drive today around 370 km to Pireas near Athens where we catch the ferry to Crete tomorrow. Arrived at 1530 hrs having done 230 miles. It was about 25c today. Camp site is on a very noisy road.
