"Wife" is on the road to Hades

As we linger in the cool shade of a stone church in the Mani region of the Peloponnese, digesting our delicious picnic lunch and letting the steep climb's sweat dry, Paul points out that one of our upcoming towns, called Νιφι (wife) is on the road to Hell. Well, it's on the road to the entrance to Hades to be more specific.

Alix and I cycled for about a week together, starting in Xiropigado and then met up with our good friend Paul in Neapoli (he had been cycling in Crete), and now we're cycling together around the beautiful Mani region in the southern part of the "middle finger" of the Peloponnese.
