Finally completed the big loop from Sicily to Kephalonia picking up the bikes along the way. Eased our way back into cycling mode with a couple of rides around the island and thought about our future direction. Original plan was to do some island hopping and maybe sailing. However it dawned on us that we had reached our most distant point but had only completed 3 weeks of (excellent) cycling. So decided that islands were too small to be messing about with and would head straight to Patra on the Peloponnese and then head north through the mountains of mainland Greece, in earnest. So new route is former Yugoslavia turn left through Alps then along the French side of the Pyrenees to Bilbao. Now its head down cycling, no tourist delights, no sunny beaches just peaks, passes and and sore asses.
