After a 120km day on the bike we were looking for a quiet spot to camp, it started raining and our options were not looking good. We were tired and exhausted and just wanted to set up for the night. Then down the side of a hill we spotted a small path blocked by a gate. We made our way around the gate and followed the path, it led to an old cathedral. The view from the cathedral was nothing short of amazing, on the horizon we had the glowing lights of Athens and right before us was the remains of an old cruise ship lying on its side. We pitched our tents, got a camp fire going to warm us up and soaked up the surreal view infront of us. Tomorrow we cycle into the city of Athens.
I'm travelling the world once again, but this time a little differently. I am currently cycle touring my way through Europe. On the 11/11/11 I pedalled out of Bromsgrove, a few hundred kilometres north-west of London. From there I made my way through central London, down to Dover, caught a ferry to Calais and got started in France. Calais to Amiens, through the hustle and bustle of Paris, into the southern wine regions and am now heading to the Mediterranean coast and the city of Marseille.
