Day 17 A Day Off!

The group was given the choice of riding or taking the day off. Everyone chose to take the day and rest, walk, swim, shop or just hang around. We plans to get together This afternoon for a demo at an olive facility within walking distance.

Day 16 Getting High with my New Friends

Right out of the gate, up hill! Great day all on all. Low gear became my close friend. As easy as you put can make it!
We met for coffee and if you chose, Lunch. Iced esspresso and Spinach Pie. Barb had an Olive Pie that was out of this world!
After lunch I visited a Bicycle cemetery where instead of burring them, they left them above ground! Shameless. We moved on! Not as hilly but not flat.
Close to the end of today's ride we came to cement path too small for a car and away from traffic. Cyclist, runners and walkers Nice just rolling along by ourselves.
We are now at our Hotel where we will be staying for two nights. All stone but modern. Dinner is here both nights. I hope to get photos of this wonderful spot tomorrow, so please come back!

Day 15, Out and Back

Another beautiful day here in the Peloponnese! We will be staying at our hotel tonight. Two nights in one place is always nice! Less stress with not having to pack the bags and the bike ride start at your own pace. The route is marked, so having the extra time to write and get ready is much appreciated. My bike is waiting for me by itself at the gate,alone. Everyone hasgoneby now. It's 10:30am and time to move!
Great ride Today with a great lunch with the group. Thanks for waiting! I had a nice solo ride back to the hotel with only a couple of moments of "I hope I'm on course." Back to the hotel for much needed shower and then for our group meeting in the hotel lobby to discuss tomorrow's ride and where we can eat on our own. We headed out!
We had a wonderful dinner with local dishes. All delicious! The Mosquitos were moving in so we moved out! Our last stop, to light 2 candles at the chapel One for my Mom and one for Barbara's Dad. What a great way to end a fantastic day!
