The final newbies!

And hello to week 6! We cycled a sweaty 50km on Sunday afternoon and had then had the very rare bad luck of not finding a wild camping spot! Everyone coped pretty well with the back up option- swim, a mountain of moussaka and a tipsy, star-lit cycle back to a proper campsite. Monday was amazing, full of laughing, singing, cycling and swimming, and being shuttled through a 1km tunnel by a van and trailer! We then arrived at Antonis Guesthouse in Paleros and have been blown away by their warmth and generousity. Dinner was made for us by Antonis' sister, an incredible cook who also plied us with 5 litre bottles of Greek wine. Some very bleary eyed and heavy headed cyclists have just headed off for a 100km cycle through the hot, hot sun, past all manners of tropical roadkill (MANY large snakes, a few tortoises and some indistinguishable creatures so far) and possibly a thunderstorm to add an extra challenge to the afternoon. Good luck! Glad I'm driving the van today!
