Well we made it! We are in Greece. Not with out some problems. When we got to the Turkish border to leave, we hadn’t kept copies of our visas and custom forms. I know how stupid. We certainly have traveled enough to know better. Really the hassle could have been much worse. I cost us about 1 hour time and an additional $55. euros. Ouch! Live and learn. We are in Alexandropolis, a city of about 50,000. There are Christmas decorations and trees, and even a few Christmas songs on the radio.
We spent the last two nights in gas stations, last night it froze and we had frost on the inside windows. The sun quickly thawed us out and tonight we are snug in a camp ground right on the Thracian Sea. This campground has hot showers not solar heated which is a real treat for us. It is still cold we bought some gloves for Joel and a stocking cap for me today. We will stay here tomorrow and then head south to Thessaloniki. We hope to find some camping gas there. We are almost out and have no way to keep warm or cook if we don’t have electric hookup.
Had a great lunch today. Ate at a small stand by the ferry dock. Joel had a gyro and I had a sausage. Both were on fried pita with French fries and condiments on top and rolled up in paper. Soooo good. Tonight we had a pork chop dinner and tomorrow we will have bacon and eggs for breakfast. We missed our pork since they don’t eat it in Turkey.
We will miss the call to prayer and the wonderful people of Turkey. It is a remarkable country.
