Poland


I am getting confused with the days and kilometres. During the last few days I was a little bit too slow. I did 144,6km on Tuesday, about 143km on Wednesday and 169,6km on Thursday. So I am still a little bit behind schedule, I think. To be honest, these numbers are not precise at all, my diary is somewhere with my luggage. Which is at the other end of the huge old power station where I am sitting at the moment. The old power station in Bytom, Poland.

Czech Republic has great roads and the landscape is beautiful. Endless hills, up and down and up and down all day. Quite tiring, but nice cycling. People don't speak too much English, but occasionally a few words of German. So far people have been friendly towards me, but not overly interested.

Poland is flatter than Czech Republic. The roads are worse, but people are more open. I enjoy being here. Can't spend more time in the internet now, but hopefully I'll find time to write more later tonight!

And: the problems with my gears are fixed! Everything working well!

  1. Since you mention it I do recall that sometimes the road distance signs in "the east" don't jive with each other. As you head into Ukraine they'll seem more interested. Roll on. Brian
