Nida, into Lithuania with April showers
A wet and cold day as I came back into the EU. Woke up this morning to a light frosting of snow. While it changed to coming down as rain later, the snow on the ground stayed all the time … Continue reading →

Frombork, little seaside town
Small things. This morning I pumped up the back tire. Well, that sure made a difference. I was riding a bit faster through the day. Perhaps when things felt squishy yesterday, they were in fact squishy. Today was some nice … Continue reading →
Gdansk, little towns to busy cities
Small things. I had been missing my wool hat, and last night I found it amongst my clothing pannier. Good thing, since today I could use it well. We started the day with another continental breakfast. The person brought me … Continue reading →
Reblinko (7km west of Slupsk), cycling along the highway
A cold start to a beautiful and sunny day. For the entire day, I followed the same highway eastbound and for the most part, it had shoulders like those left. Exceptions were crossing the town of Koszalin and several kilometers … Continue reading →

Today a little tougher than yesterday. A few more hills as I made it across the Elbe River and into the area that used to be East Germany. Last night I was one of few guests at the hotel as … Continue reading →
Escede, little towns and countryside
Another beautiful day cycling through Germany. More trees, so noticed the winds a bit less. Many places had bike paths such as those at left or right, and other roads were reasonable. I found it a little tricky to cross … Continue reading →
