Where I stayed

Couchsurfer Gael's place

Flag of Greece Thessaloniki, Macedonia Region, Greece
Monday, July 2, 2012

Arrived in Thessaloniki safely, as did the bike box with no buckled tires or nasty surprises. I assembled the bike with relative ease beside the taxi rank outside the airport terminal. Only annoyance was a burst inner tube beside the valve; something that happened worryingly often last year in hot countries.

I enjoyed a leisurely 30 degrees C sunny 10 mile cycle into town along the waterfront and up a massive hill to my couchsurfing host's flat. This French guy spent 3 years cycling around Asia with his Russian girlfriend!

Out tonight for a large helping of Greek fast food before an early start tomorrow for the ambitious 100 mile push towards the Macedonian border. Good times!
