Olympic Expedition: Day 39-45

With just 10 days until the opening ceremony kicks off the action at the London Olympics the Brazilian boys are several days behind schedule. The cause: unplanned stops at the beaches in Montenegro and Croatia. After seeing their photos I think I’d delay getting to rainy England for some days in the Mediterranean, too.

Before hitting the sand, the three travelers dropped by Olympia, Greece to get a glimpse of the site of the ancient Olympic Games. Once that was out of the way it was off to the beach.

The swimming stopovers weren't all off the route to London. The trio has arranged to get another car from a friend in Croatia and get back behind the wheel. At the moment the car is one day late, but I don't think the guys mind being stuck at the shore.

See our interview with the guys in our July issue online here or keep an eye out for the extended version online.
