Lightened by meeting fellow-cyclist (Brazilian)

A travel blog entry by travellerbruce

... friends and had decided to split off from them and travel independently to Istanbul! She's never been to Greece before so I guided her off the ferry and by then she had wisely decided not to try to cycle to Athens, so we went off to find the train station, ending up cycling along a rough road beside the beach and eventually finding that the trains were not running and we had to take a bus half-way. No problem, and within 5 minutes were on our way, reaching the ...
