17 September 2008 - Chlorakas (yes, still here)

Right, then, so what's been happening, trip-wise, since my last entry?

Well, my knee is fully healed; it just now needs to be strengthened. To this end, I started cycling a week ago, between 20-25 kms a day, taking it fairly easy. And, at last, I am today starting some rehabilitation programme with a sports therapist.

I have my ticket for the cruiser ferry to Port Said, for which I'd like to say a big 'thank you' to Solon and Iliana at the Louis Cruise Lines office, who organised me as a 'passenger accompanied by bicycle'.

I am over the moon; as, otherwise, it would have meant me cycling to north Cyprus, then to Turkey and then ... well. then a long, long way to get me to Egypt!!

I depart from my father's on Saturday 27 September, cycling just 40 klicks to Pissouri, staying overnight with friends of my father, thence to Limassol on Sunday, staying with a friend from when I worked in the Middle East, ready to embark the next afternoon headed for the Suez Canal and the pyramids. Great! Really exciting.
