Greece

You find us hunched over a computer from 1998 on a 'superfast' ferry from Ancona Italy to Patra, Greece.

Decoding the text from Greek is a bit of a chore but we can't shake the feeling that we on on the very edge of completing our Greek Odyssey of riding a C90 from Oxford England to Greece. We have encountered many different terrains, mountains and plains, nasty horrible roads, killer drivers and beautiful picturesque postcard scenes. We've met people in garages, at campsites, in supermarkets who have expressed doubt, praised our efforts or simply cheered us on (usually out of a car window or on another motorbike). While we are not actually there yet it is within touching distance (another 10 hours or so on this boat).

C90's only appear to need petrol and the odd oil top up to carry you 1800 miles.

Next time we speak to you we shall be in Greece unless we sink
