Volos
We lazed around for most the morning relaxing in our AirBnb. Unfortunately it wasn't available for tonight, so we had to move out and find a hotel. We booked into one, but when we got there we were told there wasn't anywhere for our bikes, so we had to move on. We found another one, but it's pretty ordinary.
We've decided to call it quits on the bikes. Route planning and working out where we're going to stay every night is very draining. It would be easier if we spoke and read the language and had a clear plan in mind of where we wanted to go. We probably haven't done our homework enough for Greece, but it was the last place we were thinking of 4 months ago. There's so much ancient stuff to see, but getting to it by bike isn't easy. It's also very hilly so our progress was going to be very slow. Perhaps our last ride, being the hardest ride we've done the whole trip, helped the decision.
Volos hasn't excited us. It's a large coastal town where Jason and the Argonauts mythically set sail in search of the golden fleece.
Mt Pelion behind is where centaurs originated.
