Camping Sylvia

We have made it to Greece. Hurrah!

We crossed the border from Bulgaria at around 10.30 this morning. Within 30 minutes it had started raining, the roads had got noticeably worse and we had managed to find the worst cup of coffee of the trip so far.

Oh well.

This is a lovely campsite, next to the coast below Mount Olympus. We are hoping to stay for a couple of days but we're still planning our next move so watch this space. The weather hasn't been great so far in Greece but it should improve for the next couple of days. Then worse again according to the forecasts.

We spent the afternoon washing our clothes and bedding and sitting on the beach.

Then a quick bike ride, well supposedly, up to the nearest town which didn't quite go according to plan. We got turned away from the first bar we tried because we didn't want to order any food. Then we ordered horrible shandies rather than actual beer by mistake in the next bar. Finally, we got lost on the way back. Hah!

More positively, when we walked back down to the beach this evening we were treated to a massive show of lightning over the coast south of Thessaloniki coupled with the tiniest flashes of light from loads of fireflies on the beach and in the bushes up to the campsite.
