DAY 159

02.06.2017, Thymaria - Likofos, Greece. We started the day with a long sleep, group preparation of dinner (a bag of fishes we got, that couldnt wait any longer), talks who stays in the group and who leaves and long awaited laundry. We said goodbye to Jan the tall, who left the group to go alone. After the noon hot was gone we started to march towards Likofos. Small, well integrated CMFA group almost touched Turkish border and met wonderful Greeks on the way. GPS Tracking https://www.endomondo.com/users/13828223/workouts/1018715160

Discussing whetever to stay in the group or go straight to Turkey. In the eyes of many the march was not supposed to wait, but go straight in the direction of Aleppo, no matter the circumstances.
