I planned on a long day today for a couple of simple reasons. I feel like I’m over Poland, or at least this region, so I didn’t want to faff around on the way to Lithuania. Secondly, there weren’t many food or accommodation options between 50 and 100kms. Tomorrow should be easier… So 100 it …
Breakfast was the same as dinner but there were eggs instead of soup and the bread was a day older. I’ve changed my mind about this place already. Not particularly organised and changing too dollar, and it’s cash only. I’m surprised the bread was stale as there’s a bakery just a few hundred metres away. …
Not many photos today due to the weather. Last night it started raining when I got back to the campsite. I wasn’t expecting that. I guess I should have looked at the forecast. It said there’d be rain until mid-morning, so I optimistically planned on leaving by 9. The tent was perfectly dry on the …
It was wet last night, but it hadn’t rained for hours, and things started to dry out as the sun came up. All that took a while. I said goodbye to the nice elderly owners of the campground and went into town in search of a coffee and an early second breakfast. I had success …
It was good and bad to leave Gdansk. It had a lot of eating options, was beautiful and I had a great apartment, but it was full of tourists and there was one particular local clown who sang at the top of his lungs from 6am. A few people got him to be quiet occasionally, …
Today’s ride on Komoot I was out of muesli, so I had to run the gauntlet of the local food establishments. There wasn’t a lot open when I looked, but I found a bakery. The only things they had which didn’t include ice-cream, cream or sugar, were a couple of loaves of bread and some …
Today’s ride on Komoot The campground was really quiet last night, so I slept well and got going on time. As I was packing the bike, the lovely German couple that I had spoken to a number of times yesterday afternoon brought over a mug of coffee. That was so nice of them. With our …
Today’s ride on Komoot I didn’t feel like riding today. I don’t know why, but I didn’t want to stay here in Gryzybowo. It’s just a pop-up summer tourist area as far as I can see. There are lots of tourist shops selling the kinds of things people buy on holiday, and the food is …
Today’s ride on Komoot The hotel was quite nice, and it had a restaurant. Lucky, because there weren’t many options in Nowogard. The breakfast wasn’t anything special, just like dinner last night, and just like the town. It was fine though, just like the town. The town is set around a beautiful lake, and the …
Today’s ride on Komoot Another late start. There’s no need to mention it in future. That’s just what I do, but today was an hour later than ever. I’d bought a small top tube bag, a Topeak Fastfuel Drybag. I was sick of faffing around with ziplock bags to keep my phone dry whenever it …
