Het was vannacht nogal laat geworden, zodat we vandaag eens lekker konden uitslapen. Ik werd om 7.45 uur door Leida gewekt opdat ik nog even een foto van de slapende groep kon maken. Deze foto moet goud waard zijn.

Toen we eenmaal allemaal aangekleed waren gebruikten we het ontbijt het het restaurantje van de camping. Eindelijk om 11.00 uur gingen we op weg naar Volos, waar we om een uur of één aankwamen. Hier kregen we anderhalf uur de tijd om in dit stadje rond te kijken. Met z’n vieren (Astrid, Leida, Ellen en ik) gingen we een warm broodje halen, want we hadden best al weer trek gekregen. Daarna liepen we door naar een terrasje waar we lekker wat te drinken namen.

We started our trip to Skiathos from Belgrade at night ( 8 p.m. ) by bus and after whole night drive we came early in the morning ( 6 a.m. ) at Volos. Our feets and back needed to stretch, morning coffee, juice and sandwiches done the rest :o) and we continued our trip by ferry to Skiathos. It was nice morning, Sun come up, beautiful Eagean sea glitered and our feets enjoyed free after whole night in bus :o) on our way to Skiathos :o)

Volos (Greek: Βόλος) is a city situated at the center of the Greek mainland, about 326 km north from Athens and 215 km south from Thessaloniki. It is the capital of the Magnesia prefecture.

At 8 pm we arrive at the camp 15kms beyond Volos.  The town has many ancient ruins but we are about full up with sight seeing suchlike now.  With all the vegetables to finish up I make a soup.  Many Dutch and German campervans here and we realise from the rego plates that the Dutch seem to be the most adventurous of European nations.  It is cheap and part of a discount chain that we have used 3 times now.  Mountains rise steeply behind and the snow fileds are only about an hour's drive from here. 

Find an English newspaper in Athens and we are devouring every word.  Spot an item that tells of reliable intelligence that is pointing to Morocco as having a terrorist attack pending and the UK government has just stopped short of issuing advice that it is only for essential travel.  I would have been very dissappointed if we hadn't been able to go there.
