Well, the trip is finally coming to an end.  It has been something truly special for the both of us and we have been very glad to be able to share it with all of you.  We have spent the last few days relaxing in Athens living in with an Athenian fellow that we met online and several other cyclists from Sweden.  He has been letting us stay in his tiny apartment for free and we have been cooking together every day and curling up on the floor together at night.Read more

Hi all!

We are in Greece!!  Blue skies, green waters, white hills and a breeze rolling off the seas into the port of Patras!  2200 miles done already and 300 more to go to Athens.  Having a fantastic time despite some bumps and scrapes (see update below) and are excited for the rest of the ride.Read more
