Finally got home today after 2247 miles (3595 km) in 9 days - what a blast!! As others have said, many, many thanks to Thanassis for such a good time.
Fortunately that was only the beginning - we still had ahead of us riding over the Alpine passes, the back roads of France ( France is definitely wasted on the French (spit)) and most of all good company!!
For those of you that didn't go, - you missed out.
For those of you that did - cherish the memories ( I certainly will)
