This is day 8 of my bike tour from Greece to England. This cycling vlog covers the day’s cycling from Kanali Beach to Parga. It was a more challenging day due to the hills on the west coast. This was more than rewarded though, when I arrived at Hotel Acrothea in Parga. A beautiful hotel in a great location!

    1. Nice day Dave, shame about the litter hé , it seems that people would rather rubbish a pristine bit of nature than , God forbid, have it in the car till you get home !! Happens a lot in Oz too. You have been lucky with the weather so far. I am enjoying your ride.☺
