Гатчина, rest day in the rain

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.

    Is the Post Office Internet something you can expect all of the way across or more of a rare treat? When the premise of the trip is “Hey, there is a road now” I am excited to think that we might still get updates when you are on the mud farm.

    From what I understand, the Post Office is a frequent place to find internet, and so should have access along the way.

    I expect we’ll be camping more along the way and so may not have as frequent updates but should be able to update occasionally from towns along the way. Now finding those Google map coordinates might be more tricky.
