Suvla Bay Turkey then Greece

Travelled: 237km (3.6km border crossing from Turkey to Greece 8.5 HOURS!)
Stay: in some car park on the beach west of Alexandroupoli...it’s dark so how knows! N40.8481 E25.7254






We had a peaceful sleep and after our morning coffee took off to explore Suvla Bay. If the condition of the roads are to go by, this area of the peninsula is not so popular. We managed to find the Hill 60 cemetery and then made an approach to Suvla Bay but turned off 5km short as the road was not good. 







On our travels back to the main road we did manage to see a bit of  rural Turkey. 










Then we were off to the Greek border...and oh were we in for a wait...the short story is that it took us 8 hours 20mins to travel 3.6km! 







We whiled away the time doing some photo downloads and Mark listened to the Bombers game, we did some planning on what to see in Greece..Mark read his book as we stopped and started our way through the Turkish Border and then the Greek Border. Never could we have imagined that we would have to endure such a thing...but we survived! And we enjoyed a celebratory drink with the music pumped up high as we travelled down the freeway to our destination for tonight.  We have parked in a huge car park with no one in it so not sure what to expect in the morning...only time will tell.
