Lithuania

Starting from Võru provided an opportunity to avoid the all too familiar direct road to Poland, and go through Daugavpils and Vilnius instead. There are national parks and nice small towns like Trakai or Alytus. The road between these two was the dessert of the riding day - could finally switch off cruise control and tilt the bike a bit. But the biggest surprise was Ignalina. Expectation: nuclear power. Reality: ski resort. The pics are from central Vilnius where we had a picnic on the riverside. The writing on the wall reads "Let's have a moment of silence for all those who are stuck in traffic on their way to the gym to ride stationary bicycles". Since I didn't bring a bicycle or skates, I ended the day with a 11 km run in Alytus. Norman preferred his phone.
