Bye Bye Turkei - Where are the big birds?

Today we crossed the Turkey - Greece border at Kipi and it's just as hot on the other side. The last few days have been good. From Silivri we cycled the main road towards Ipsala and sampled some rather croweded and noisy campsites.


But who cares as life revolves around food and after the last 6weeks we thoroughly enjoy long, tasty breakfasts - yammm..

Yep - we both now have matching sunhats, sunglasses and Birkenstocks! Marital behaviour has definitely fully set in - doh!

Couple of days ago we met these chaps, Henry and Jamie who are on a 18months adventure from London to Sydney - they are riding to raise money - check out their website and donate here. Thanks for the Greek map guys!

So we cycled on in hilly Turkey on small and main roads and we were granted an entire! day with tail wind - nice!


Then we ended up on the Autobahn - Motorway in Greece. Photo below: We just had climbed the fence to the right as our little road just stopped so we had to continue on the motorway - that was a first (and hopefully a last).

Now we are off to Dadia Forest Reserve to check out some Big Birds - apparently 36 of the 38 European Birds of Prey come through this migratory path - see what we can see....

    Hello Sara & Tim, Well last lap but still exciting and not one jot less adventurous. September now so Autumn sun has appeared and we should have a lovely pleasant dry warm week. (its 'cos schools have gone back -always the same). The update of the Blog was as always appreciated and love the photos and script. Enjoy these last days of honeymoon and look forward to seeing you both when you get to Wales. Love Mary and Bill.

    HI Guys,
    Spring is slow coming here. Today we have braved driving rain, sleet and snow, all mixed in with lots of mud. And the calves still keep coming! We must be three quarters of the way through now - I guess its all coming to a peak at the moment with very full days work. Roll on xmas I say and holiday time!!!I don't have much exciting to say but I e mailed mum some Ben photos so she might put them on 'the NZ blog!' He's so cute! and starting to say quite a few words - some quite random but I guess its whats easy for him to say 'bee','mole', 'cow','Guy (who works for us),'cracker and bar' and quite a lot that we can't decifer yet!
