They stopped along with Julien's carriage a few times throughout the day to have breaks, stretch their bodies, and eat the meals Dimitris packed for them together with the two valets.
When nightfall came and it was no longer safe to travel, they were able to find lodgings in a little bed and breakfast along the road that was run by a young couple who appeared to be in their late twenties.
The couple was not able to get a good look at the carriages that bore the Greek and French royal coat of arms, but they could tell from the way that Julien, Arthur, and Maria were dressed that they were high class.
The royals were careful not to reveal their identities, but felt relief when the couple informed them that they were the only guests in the bed and breakfast; it was safer for them all that way.
The woman showed the valets to their room first, followed by the room that Julien and Arthur would share.
