METSOVO TO ALEXANDROUPLOS

We started the morning with an early breakfast at Metsovo in the mountains of Greece. Beautiful snow capped mountaıns and a trecherous drıve down to the Greek coastlıne. We then had a kick of the footy with some locals, the Condon brothers beıng outmarked and outmuscled by a few younger and more agile youngsters. It was soon time to hit the road again for a full day of driving still making our way to Turkey. After driving along the spectacular coastline we stopped for lunch at a sunny beachside resort. After a re-fuel, swim and a wander around it was time to jump back in the vans on our way to Alexandropoulos.

Commander Kimpton was excited at a Fire Brıgade exhibition ın the small coastal town of Kavala. He had all the Greek firemen listenıng intently as he tried to recruit a few more Essendon supporters.

Once at the camping ground and set up, it gave the group a chance to put on the runners and singlets and go for a leisurely jog along the beach and camping ground to blow away a few cobwebs. Some of the group looked a picture of health, whereas some showed signs that the last few days of travelling had taken its toll
