Brand New Rear End

We are parked up tonight on campsite Poseidon in Paralia Panteleimona just a little south of Leptokarya and in the shadow of Mt Olympus. We're on a sandy beach on a road with about four other campsites all tidying themselves up for the start of the summer season. There are a host of mini-markets, bars and restaurants and in a few weeks I think this place will be buzzing but for now it's a little sleepy and although there are a few folk here in their static caravans we are, once again, the only motorhomers.

We left Zapetas repair shop today after they re-assembled the back of the van. And what a job they did. It looks like new and it is now stronger than the original. It took them a couple of hours to put things back together with a delay caused by a dirty brake light connection. Here are a few before and after photos.

I can't praise these guys highly enough. While I was there they showed me how to clean the burners on the fridge, fixed a faulty surround on a roof light and generally gave me loads of tips and hints. They didn't charge me a fortune either, half the price I had expected or was prepared to pay. We're going back next week so they can fit air suspension to the van. Again, they've quoted me half the price I would expect to pay in the UK for the same system and fitting. They've had to order the kit from Germany and it won't arrive until Tuesday of next week so meantime we are going to explore a little more of northern Greece until we head back toward the Peloponnese. No great hardship there, the place we are at is pleasant enough and we don't really have to be anywhere in a hurry.
