Going North
By Johan - After hiding from the storm that never eventuated in Patras for two nights, we set of North over the Rion-Antiorion bridge. Pretty awesome feat of engineering. There is a bike lane alongside the main high way but no cycleway signage what so ever so it gets a little bit confusing on the on ramp and off ramp. Nevertheless it was a pretty easy crossing with some impressive views. Moving North from here gets a bit more rural and less densely populated. It was a nice change from the fairly dense population we had along the roads from Athens to this point. Mesolonghi has a cool town centre; we enjoyed lunch there; one of the traditional Pita Gyros sandwiches which are pretty awesome! After lunch we passed through Etoliko, which is a pretty little town; the center is an island between two bridges. A nice place to hang out for the night or lunch with some great seaside terasses. Unfortunately the timing was a bit off for us so we peddled through. There is a bit of a hiatu...
