Friday Aug 5. Nida to
Zelenogradsk. 60km. Kaliningrad to hotel 10km. Total 1180km.
Headed off to the Russian border. First the exit from Lithuania, then the entry
to Russia, then the customs. All takes
time! Not allowed to take any photos
though. And then just down the road, a
national park entry collection point.
Unfortunately more cloud bursts today so got thoroughly
drenched again. We did find a spot for
some really nice pancakes and coffee though.
Hiding under trees during another downpour found that the mosquitoes
were ferocious.
Found our way to the train station in Zelenogradsk and a
train was leaving for Kaliningrad straight away, so a mad rush to get the bikes
on board.
Once in Kaliningrad, we had to sort out a place to
stay. Went to McDonalds to get
guaranteed wifi, but couldn’t get on without a Russian sim card! Our Vespa mates had mentioned a hotel where
you could camp, so eventually we headed for there.
That was a real 10km adventure in more
rain, with dead end paths, potholes, and traffic.
