 Day 20.
Wednesday 21st July. Distance 460 miles.
Up at 7am this morning because of the long
day ahead. Had a good breakfast of bread, ham, cheese,
tomato, cucumber and tea. Through the Lithuanian border at
9am with a quick check of my passport and the bikes registration
papers. Nothing at the Polish border at all so drove
straight through. The next bit of really twisty road
brought a smile to my face but that was short-lived as the
roads straightened out and the traffic got heavier. The
heavy lorries had rutted the roads and made things dangerous
when overtaking. There were also lots of road-works and
traffic lights. After Warsaw the roads were really good
with stretches of really fast bits. Now and again a town
would come up so you had to slow down at the town sign,
sometimes to 40kph. I was followed out of a few towns by
police cars but stuck to the limits. I arrived at Wroclaw
about 6pm and found a small hotel with an alarmed garage for Big
Sylvia.
Had a good nights sleep after a nice meal and
walk about town.
