Planning with Kurt

Route: Greece or Turkey to Lithuania - (Optional Countries)

Kurt and I worked throught this route this past weekend, determining our contacts, political issues, and fasted distances. The bike route basically goes from either Athens, Greece or Turkey to Germany, and then shoots back to Lithuania. Countries that are not necessary in the direct route from Greece/Turkey to Germany to Lithuania route are marked in (parenthesis), and could be integrated if we have interest, are politically stable, etc...
