Great ride yesterday into Kalivari, and then north and uphill about 400 m to Afrata, a very small town where we found a taverna willing to open just for us. She also found us a room and agreed to serve us dinner. Later that afternoon we continued up the Rodopou Penninsula as far as the pavement allowed, and then walked about 2 k‘s. The wind was fierce, cold and blew right back to our bikes, and a fast ride back to the room.
The taverna owners had a fire in the hearth, homemade wine on the table and a great lamb dinner ready
We had a lively discussion around the economy, how to make ‘virgin‘ olive oil, and then onto strong women in relationships!
That just about exhausted their English and our limited Greek was of no use at all.
This morning we worked our way downhill to the main road and into Kissomos where we found great small apartment on the water for 30 E. We've discovered the season is not starting yet, and every where we go they are getting ready, but not quite open. But if we go and talk to the owners, the are sometimes willing to put us up. So far, so good.
