Day 31 - Igoumenista - 22nd June 2024

Slept well apart from having cramp in my left calf in the night. In my case this is normally a sign of dehydration. But I've tried really hard to stay hydrated!

Normal coffee on hot-plate. Shave and brushed teeth. Then getting ready to cycle before it gets too hot.

I wanted to do parts of 2 cycles I'd found on Komoot. One a road cycle - the other a MTB route. So I set off on the MTB route to Igoumenista. The campsite was about 5 miles outside the port. There were great cycle routes through Igoumenista.

My dropper post should really be working for the off-road section though! It was steep. But took me to the old road which had no traffic on it! 

Into Igoumenista and a nice cycle track.

Then a cafe with a lovely Freddo Cappuccino (3 Euros).

Then swapped to the cycle route out the other side of Igoumenista. it's just like Marazion to Mousehole but 25C hotter!

Met some interesting characters on the cycle route.

Went on and on and on. Very quiet but lovely. 

Right out onto the spit. 

On the way back got onto a MTB course - didn't do any of the jumps.

Then stopped for a spinach pie and another Freddo Cappucino, Temperature now heading into the mid-30C's.

Cycling back to the campsite it was 41C and I appreciated the shade when I could find it.

Back at the campsite. Swim, relax, beer, swim, shower.... trying hard to keep cool.

The eBike wouldn't charge because it was too hot!

Then a cold shower and into the restaurant for dinner. Meal was lovely.

I had the Fried Zuchinni and then the lamb followed by an lemon cake and then ice-cream for pudding. Football was on.

Oh and a beer and 1/2 a litre of wine. They wanted paying in cash for the food - probably as wont go through the books.

Bed!
