One month count down!

In exactly one month we will be taking the plane to Athens--10,900 Km (6,770 miles) done in one day!....not the average speed of our bike trip! From there we will have the real 3,762 Km (2,337 miles) and 12 countries ahead by bicycle. Really exciting! Today we traced our tentative route, which looks to be quite challenging!!:
