Kalambaka

I decided the other day to continue the journey on my own leaving Louis and Matteo just south of Neapoli in a village called Mikrokastro we stopped for lunch in a bus shelter as it was windy and raining. I stopped the night just out of Grevena and in the  morning watched them cycle past on the low road as i came down the  hill.

That morning there was a onslaught of accents and descents that brought me to the river Pinios and the plain of Tirkala. It was a easy ride into Kalambaka along the river, still raining so i booked into hotel Odysseneon where i had a great view of the Meteora sandstone rock formations with almost a full moon raising behind the largest outcrop.

Ive been hoping for.a dry spell to get out on my bike unladen but no such luck. Been reading about Delphi, the Corycian cave where i hope to camp for a few days and after  eleuisis. Ive booked  flight back to the uk with eazyjet 25 euros extra to bring bike back. Leaving December 15th.
