A nice view of the island of Thassos Nothing too much of interest to report today.I got away late from the campervan dealership where I had stayed the night:It wasn’t too bad-the flights from the nearby airport stopped at 11pm,and the site dog seemed to get taken home at 9pm when the staff left.In the morning I had a bit of planning to do as regards my next movements.I eventually left just before midday and drove 175km east on the motorway to a campsite on the coast outside Kavala.It’s an attractive coast,with some good sandy beaches.The Greek motorway tolls work on a different system to others I have used :there is no ticket,one just encounters a line of toll booths every 100km or so and pay 2 Euro 40c each time,which is cheaper than all the other toll systems I’ve been on.The campsite ,Camping Batis(http://www.batis-sa.gr/en/ ) is at the back of a very nice bar,restaurant and private beach complex but the campsite facilities themselves are a bit basic,though very quiet.The smart restaurant on the beach was doing lunch and was busy with local families who seemed to be dressed up specially .I ate at around 4pm,which seems to be the time the locals prefer.There is a great view from the terrace over to the island of Thassos.The weather is slightly cooler today which is more pleasant ,still hot sun and a nice 20 degrees.The Greeks,rather amusingly though, seem to be feeling the cold and were wearing jumpers and coats on the terrace outside ;some even kept their scarves on,and what I found really odd was than even with these layers of clothing ,two groups insisted on portable space heaters being brought out for them.I was pretty hot in my short-sleeved shirt and had to keep in the shade !
