another 300 kilometers

Our plan was to leave early but I don’t what happened, all of a sudden it was after lunch hours before we were on our way south. We talked with theese nice polish guys for a while, packed our gear and finally were on the road again. Another day with nice weather even though we got 3 drops of rain at first but nothing to pay attention to.

Tina and the side car guys. Today we learned that their BMW’s actually are Russian BMW copies. Cool bikes nevertheless!

Jan having a power boost snack. It’s getting warmer and warmer – today we had over 25° C the hole day. Sweater off!

Jan on the highway. Sometimes the roads looks like this. Sometimes the roads are just terrible to ride on.
Bikers in Poland are very eager to wave to you when on the road, which is nice. At home that’s not as common anymore, unfortunately.

My new love and savior – The new S&S belt! I’m sometimes having nightmares about what would have happened if my former belt didn’t break just BEFORE we left. Would have been VERY big trouble (and very expensive) if it would have happened somewhere on the road in the middle of eastern europe….

Lunchtime. Jan trying to look innocent after taking a pic of me and his lunch.

Now bedtime. Need to prepare for a tough day tomorrow. Auschwitz will be interesting to see but will for sure be pretty depressing. I clearly remember the terrifying feeling after visiting the Killing Fields in Cambodia earlier this year. Can’t believe how cruel human beings can get! But nevertheless it’s a part of our history and important to not forget! Hopefully this planet will be better one day…
