The ride to Lefkada was great. Despite the dreary weather forecast I saw yesterday in Mytikas, it was beautiful. Plus I knew that it was only 55km to Lefkada. The road was mostly flat along the coast, then flat along a long valley before Vonitsa. I stopped to look at a castle just before riding along the causeway to Lefkada. It was interesting to be able to just wander around the castle without restriction. Once in Lefkada, I immediately felt as though I was on vacation. The town is surrounded by yachts and was bathed in sun. It seemed that all the clouds went east, over the mainland, but not over Lefkada. I rode around looking for a cheap inn, most were closed as they appeared to all be under construction or renovation. I found one eventually, and the receptionist gave me the best room, practically a suite at a huge discount. I have a terrace as big as my entire room in Mytikas! I enjoyed some tasty pizza for lunch and chatted with the Romanian waiter - I was the only person eating at this restaurant in the plaza, and there were only 5 other people in the entire plaza which seats at least 400. The waiter told me that the season starts next week, one week prior to the Greek Orthodox Easter.

	11. To Igoumenitsa Apr 18 2008, 05:29 PMPreveza, Greece I rode from Preveza to Igoumenitsa. My only regret is that I skipped the town of Parga. It's probably too cold to completely enjoy that town anyway. From here I'll take the Ventouris ferry to Bari, Italy.

	10. Preveza, Greece Apr 18 2008, 09:00 AMPreveza, Greece I took the bus from Lefkada to Preveza because there is a long underwater tunnel. I presume that bicycles are not allowed. The loop around would add at least another day to the journey, and I'm ready for Italy.
