Nice easy rest day as the rain and drizzle falls down outside. The hardest part about crossing the border yesterday was finding it. After that I cycled through 127km to this small town south of St Petersburg. I’m using internet at local post office, so yesterdays report will be sent up later.

I found a nice hotel with help from friendly folks at Experience Plus bicycle tour company. The hotel only had place for one night, so today moved to sample the other hotel in town. Plan is to stay here until Sunday morning and then ride into the city. It is mostly a drizzle and light rain but still nice to take an easy day (or two) here around Gatchina, reading and relaxing.

2km today, 2452km across Europe, 4090km total.
