Bike trip 1

This post should go before #2, but it got lost somewhere...
Picture 1 is the town of Parga, where we ended our bike ride on the first day, on the mainland.
Picture 2 is us above the town.
Picture 3 is going thru the canal at Lefkas island. The drawbridge is made from an old ferry. It opens every hour for boat passage. The ends go up and the ferry turns to create an opening for us to pass thru. Greek innovation at it's best!
Picture 4 is us getting ready to go on our ride the next morning. The bikes are stored on the top of the boat and are lifted down each day & up again at night.
The panoramic views on the rides are amazing, and the roads are very quiet. Greek drivers are very courteous and beep their horn to let us know they are going to pass.
