Day Three - Greece

Dawn breaks and I can see the Albanian coast from my cabin window, my Sat Nav shows we are travelling at 54 Kilometres per hour.

A buffet breakfast at 7am

In the queue for breakfast I meet 3 German bikers on their way to Greece, unusually none of them speak English, luckily I haven't forgotten my German so we chat over a hearty breakfast.

In a classic German pincer movement they send one guy in first to get the best seats by the front windows, while they get breakfast, no wonder half of Europe fell to such tactics during the war.
Then its straight down to the bikes and into Greece.

I arrive in Greece at 9am, I got onto the Eurotunnel train at Folkstone two days ago just before 08:00 UK time and have travelled from UK to Greece in about 48 hours and am pretty pleased with my progress so far.

Then a long ride East, there is a new motorway being built but its not complete yet, sometimes I make great progress then other times I am diverted to narrow mountain roads.

To pass the time and alleviate the boredom of the motorways I experiment holding my camera up with one hand taking a few self portraits.




I arrive at my hotel in Maronia, Eastern Greece in good time and find an empty beach for a refreshing swim.
