Stopped and got a sim card (€15 unlimited data ,1 month) Got a route on secondary roads as I do not want to go on the freeways and found a zig zaggy road heading south, so followed it the best I could. It was an old road which threaded through the incredible valley and mountains up to 5600ft and then down to 2400ft , it was a most amazing ride, slow but all in the mountains with hardly any vehicles.
Apparentlythey had 100 year rains here three days ago and came to a bridge that was washed out and had to wait an hour for them to form a road. From there you could see the damage done to the roads and a huge mudslide that had been cleared.
Now I ended up here and can't continue and have to backtrack and head south on another route which they think mabe open, so will see tomorrow. The town of Trikala, about an hour away has had homes and hotels washed away with some fatalaties.
Was slow going but the scenery was special and not a cloud in the sky, hope tomorrow is the same.
