Today’s ride on Komoot Today was another one where I wasn’t sure where I’d end up. I couldn’t be certain that any camping options would be open, and the accommodation options didn’t look interesting or reasonable. None of that really mattered because I was interested to see the Corinth Canal. I’d work the rest out …
Today’s ride on Komoot There wasn’t much reason to hang around but I still dawdled as I only had about 45kms to the next camping ground. The tent and my bike were covered in brown dust in the morning. Days later, I’d find out that this was dust blown in from Africa and that Athens …
Today’s ride on Komoot Disclaimer – below, I’m fairly negative about Sami and Patras. I think that’s due to the time of year rather than anything else. I had a day in off in Sami. I needed to dry my gear after yesterday’s drenching. I slept in late, ate and then went for a ride …
This is a constant issue for many travellers and there are a number of ways to keep your electronics charged. What I need I keep my phone, iPad, GPS, Kindle, bike lights, head torch, and shaver charged. (yes, a shaver. I look even more homeless with a grey beard) Most of these don’t need charging …
Today’s ride on Komoot Today’s plan was to brave the weather and camp on Myrtos Beach. There was rain predicted for most of the day, but it would fine up by evening. Sounds doable. I woke instead to sunny weather and as usual, the forecast had changed. Now, I had storms from 2pm all through …
Today’s ride on Komoot (a massive ride of less than two kilometres) I stayed in Vasiliki an extra night due to the national ferry strike. It may have been all transport but I’d never know. I was intending to take the daily 11am ferry to Fiskardo, Kefalonia on Wednesday but spent the day looking around …
Today wasn’t a big ride down to the port of Vasiliki at the southern end of the island of Lefkada. I took my time and made some mods to the bike before leaving town. Lefkada is quite a nice place and is well set up for tourists and yacht charters. I stopped by the end …
Today’s ride on Komoot Today would be interesting. I had to get through the Prevesa tunnel first up. I’ve seen online that there is a shuttle bus operated by the tunnel company. Cyclists have generally had good luck in getting the minivan shuttle, but some have reported issues. I knew it was still working a …
Being on tour for so long, it’s nice to meet up with friends and family along the way. So I’ll arrange some dates that will probably suit my schedule or I’ll fit in with theirs. Inevitably, the date is set, and immediately I have a priority, a mission, a deadline, …. And I regret it …

Today’s ride on Komoot I stayed two nights at Camping Elena. It’s a really nice place. George, the owner asked me all about my trip and after I told him that I’m not going to the Stans, he said – you’re not in a rush then, why not stay here another night. I’m so glad …
