Day 2 – April 27th

Trying to get some sleep became a difficult task as fireworks exploded across the night sky to officially welcome in the Greek Easter. A few tired platoons slept through the festivities ready to regain the baton in the early hours of the morning. Damien Foletti led his Travis platoon through some difficult, yet spectacular terrain as the rain and wind whipped off the Agean. The rose amongst the thorns, Kylie Evans, celebrated her 30th birthday in style, finishing her run leg with a quick dip in the chilly waters of Oraci Beach. From Alexandropoulos to Xanthi to Kavala and on to the throbbing metropolis of Thessaloniki, the group powered through the night, making the most of the limited traffic on the roads.
With the Hotchkiss somewhere behind the run and in need of minor repairs, the Museum boys were studying up on their Greek language in an effort to get the beast fixed once the towns recover from their Easter hangover.
