Greece Route

It’s official! Fromeward Bound stage 1 is now complete!! We rolled up at Clare’s parent’s place in Greece sometime just after lunch today.

Plan A was to arrive in very early January. Then about a month ago we formulated plan B, which would see us turning up in mid-December. As it turns out, we’ve arrived even earlier! Mostly that’s down to a combination of cold and darkness – for the last 3 or 4 weeks we’ve had to huddle up in the car from 5pm until 8am, which means we end up playing a lot of Scrabble. To be honest, there’s only so many times Clare can continue to lose and retain any sense of dignity so we made a break for the comfort of home!

From here we have a bit of time to sort things out; the roof rack broke in Mongolia, then broke some more in Uzbekistan and now needs a full-on repair; our oil change is about 3000km overdue; the fuel filter needs replacing; and there’s a few new bits of furniture we want to make for the car.

We also need to plan the next bit of our journey home…. the weird thing being that we could probably be in Frome in 5 days from here!
