Debs: We have a minor problem, perhaps because of the current problems here no-one accepts any sort of credit or debit card, it’s all cash only.. So an early start was made for the trip to Lefkada town (the capital of this little island) which is only a 25 minutes ride.

We set off at 8.30am all togged up in our mesh bike gear (purchased specially for this trip) with shorts on underneath as the thermometer already reading 23c but by 9.30 it had climbed to 32c and we were melting! We fortunately found the Bank pretty quickly, but by the time we got back to our room we were ready to drop.





 So far the trip has gone pretty smoothly with hotels, routes and timings all pretty spot on, however today we realised there’s been a ‘hiccup’ in our calculations. Tomorrow we leave for Delphi which I was sure it was a 2.5 hour trip, but when we checked up with Dolly sat-nav she informed us it's actually 5.5 hours. Whoops!



The remainder of the day was sun,sand and snoozing, plus of course regular portions of fish and wine as evening drew in, but it's going be such a scorcher and a very long run, so looks like an even earlier start tomorrow…
