Posting from town Gritsa - Hostel Summit Zero right at the beachside in front of the Olymp(Greece).
But now to our 2nd aswsome day:
After a Omlette and some shopping in yakoruda (800m), we started late at 10:20 with a quite hard uphill on a - when we started - dry sand, forrest road. Weather was perfect for the first 1,5 hours - cloudy and not too hot. Light rain started to turn to pooring rain. After resuiting we managed somehow to get up the first hill (1660m) - still on sand but now wet.. with torrents coming down. Luckly we found a place to dry our complete clothes for about one hour. Thx to the guy from the little shop. Starting after one hour again almost dry, suddenly the sun came out - well for just a few minutes - getting warm - resuiting for sunny weather. About 30 minutes later again pooring rain but still not that cold. We almost decided to go to the village Dospat (where we stayed for one night 4 years ago on our trip to istanbul) but we still had about 5h of daylight so we decided to proceed to our original destination Kovatschevitza. After about 50km on sandy roads we finaly reached an asphalt again - amasing how easy biking on asphalt is. Arriving in Kovatschevitza we did 74km with 1650 meter of elevation.
The town of looked kind of crappy and awful at the first sight but the hotel turned out very nice with an extreme amasing panorama few.
I will post some pictures maybe tomorrow.
