Got back to the tent last night and read my book in a chair, and it was gone 10pm before I could even get into the tent as it was so hot last night. Manage to sleep in between scratching mozzie bites and sweating profusely.
Wandered over to the smelly shower block at about 5 am and showered.... yuck... Packed up the bike by 7.30 and was all sweaty again as it was getting hot even then.
Rode some interesting roads through small Greek villages and even managed a coffee break but the coffee machine was broken so ended up with a "Frap Coffee" and another 2 litres of water....
The heat increased and one board I saw said it was 44 !!! I am not pottering along in that heat - so we hopped on the the motorway until we got past Thessaloniki then turned south to the village of Methoni. By the way: don't try to pay the Road Toll with a £2 coin - the lady was not happy..... The www said there was a campsite there Methoni and finally located it only to find it also has a hotel room with a/c for just 25€..... don't need to ask twice in these temperatures....
I have sorted the washing, sorted the route tomorrow into Albania and am now sitting in my skiddies on the balcony typing this.
