The first 450km are over!!!!

Day 16:
When the weather is great and you are hiking through the greek hills - olive trees, cristal blue sea, green pastures.... you really feel like in the middle of some tacky feta-cheese-advertisement!

Day 17:
In this amazing scenery you don't think that someone will greet you with a bevarian accent....well some greek olive farmers are from Bavaria :-)
The night we spent in a abandoned shepherd's hut...with the tent under the roof and a nice evening in front of the open fire.....

Day 18:
St. Nikolaus brought us a big bag of almonds - we just had to pick and open them first - Yummy! All in all a great day! - we hitched a ride over a ford on the bucket of a catarpillar and got two hands full of candy that tasted like my granny's foot cream from an old couple....

Day 19:
We hike always west along tiny roads and even find shortcuts via traktor tracks. we really make good distance. In the afternoon Kevin's leg starts to hurt so badly, that he needs Voltaren cream. But in front of a fire and with spagetti Carbonara life is good again!

Day 20:
4 years on the road!! We didn't even plan to celebrate too big but ended up with a big party! In the tiny village we got invited into the tavern and spent the evening drinking beer, listening to STS on full volume, eating amazing greek food, drinking more beer and having a great time with our new friends in Nea Amisos! The night we spent in a little hut with fridge, tv and heating! Thank you soooo much for everything!

Day 21:
After a hot coffe in the tavern we hiked on...and an hour later, we sat in a garden sipping hot coffe once again. We even got 2 kg of kiwis for the way. Greek people are amazing!

Day 22:
cold, colder, freeeeeeezing cold! We found frozen puddles at 3pm! Greece is supposed to be much warmer!

Day 23:
it's still way too cold. Breaking up camp in the morning is painfull, but has to be done quickly - hiking is the only thing that keeps us warm!
We bought a new map today (the old one we hiked through already). Now we head out in the cold again - they say it'll get colder still!
