We arrived into Thessaloniki in the evening and were greeted at the main square by our Couch Surfing host Emily and her boyfriend Stefanos. Being keen cyclist they guided us straight to their local bike shop.
The guys at the shop did not have the parts available to fix the bike but they informed us that they could order them and that they should arrive in the next 2 days. We had originally planned to meet Mike here so waiting 2 days wasn't gonna be a problem for us and thankfully Emily and Stefanos had no problems with us hanging around their place alittle longer.
That night we stayed in Stefanos's house where his sister Efie also lived and then headed out for a few beers to meet Emily and Stefanos's friend.

Paul loved this guys T-shirt so asked for a pic with him
We spent the next few days chilling with Efie and her friend Ermis, Hillis and Alex and when Mike arrived we had another night out with the full gang. It was a big one! The first time we let our hair down since China so we feel we've earned it.

Our last day in Thessaloniki we moving to a new house as Efie's mother and sister were coming to stay and the last thing they needed to see was 3 messy Irish guys nursing sore heads.
We moved to Emily's house for the last night and hung out with Stefanos and his friend Nicos for the evening.
We can't thank Emily, Efie and Stefanos enough for the wonderful time we spent in Thessaloniki. Hope to hear from ye again lads.....
