Nice orthodox church

The reason for this sign was obvious after we cycled around the corner to see a barracks full of tanks

After the barracks we coastred into a valley which housed some sort of idyllic holiday resort completely different to the poor house we were used to passing

This was the nice road after spending the morbibon an disused farming road. Less a road and more a collection of large and mis-shapen rocks.

Nice to have the good road for the descent

After lugging our bikes over an old tractor road we stopped at the first restaurant we found. We ordered “something good and were presented with the biggest burgers we’ve ever seen. The timing couldn’t have been better

Enjoying the smooth road after the old farm roads of the morning

A nice descent as well
