We followed a familiar road passing by Veria on the motorway. As we travelled we climbed into the mountains. In the distance we spotted snow capped peaks.
Eventually we left the motorway which disappeared into a tunnel under construction. Our road then climbed further and the scenery became more mountainous. Soon we were at high altitude close to the snowline. Incredible feats of engineering carry the road across bridges and through long tunnels to cross the mountains of this area.
The descent to Ioannina was equally spectacular and eventually we saw the lakeside town below us to our right.
We were met at the bus station by Rtn Alex in a heavy downpour of rain and taken to our hotel base. We now have a programme of educational and vocational visits. We will make a presentation to the RC of Ioannina on Tuesday evening. We are looking forward to our stay here.
