Day 7
Jürmala
August 4, 2022 in Latvia ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C
Ruhige Nacht . Morgens noch einen schönen Sparziergang um die Seen gemacht, dann noch eine Runde mit Stanley. Heute ging es nach Lettland. Fahre kaum 15 min, da bin ich, mitten in einem winzigen Dorf, schon in Lettland. Litauen ist echt klein ( soll so groß wie Bayern sein), hat viele Wälder und ist ansonsten recht ärmlich und irgendwo der Zeit hinterher. Viele verfallene, leerstehende Häuser. Kaum über die "Grenze" ändert sich das. Viele alte Holzhäuschen, schön zurecht gemacht. Und unheimlich viele Störche gibt es hier. Fast an jedem Haus gibt es ein Storchennest. Mein erstes Ziel ist heute Jürmala, der größte Badeort des Baltikums. Der Ort erstreckt sich über 32 km entlang dem Meer, viele kleine Villenorte,die sich aneinanderreihen. Im Ältesten gibt es einige schöne Bauwerke zu entdecken. Alte Jugendstilvillen. Finde mit der App schnell einen Parkplatz und radle mit dem Fahrrad los. Ganz schön weit bis zum "alten Teil" . Auch eine lange Fußgängerzone gibt es, ist aber nicht viel los. An einem Bernsteinstand gibt es Ohrringe für mich Das Hauptgeschehen spielt sich am Strand ab. Total breit ist er hier. Das Wasser herrlich blau und je weiter man sich vom Hauptort entfernt, desto ruhiger wird es. Nach dem Stadtbummel geht es natürlich noch ins Meer baden. Herrlicher Sand, gaaaaanz fein. Das Wasser recht frisch, aber bei der Wärme gerade recht. Hier fahren sie sogar mit den Fahrrädern am Strand lang. Nun geht es noch 20 min weiter die Küste lang.Read more

Day 3
Day 1 unexpectedly adventurous
July 29, 2022 in Latvia ⋅ 🌙 15 °C
Day 1
what an incredible start: i woke up energised and motivated after enough hours of valuable sleep (Which was more than necessary after 5 days of 3-6 hours of sleep the last days) awesome weather, smooth packing and a tasty breakfast from a real bakery (that I was missing a lot in Tallinn) set the mood for a good start.

I was super exited before the start and the stream, but the packing took too much time. Soo it was rather a packing than a cycling stream. I really want to stream for you during riding aswell. I’m thinking about doing one on Sunday :) I was so happy to finally be in the saddle riding. All my detailed planning paid off: the setup worked perfectly and the riding was surprisingly easy although I was carrying 50 kilos of bass and equipment. The end of the day was spiced up by an adventurous search for a place to sleep. A sandy road forced me to stop. I found a small asphalt path into the forest who brought me to a steep hill which was hiding in the darkness. The exploration of the top brought me to an abandoned beach over which the sky was still coloured in red. When I was planning the ride I always imagined this kind of adventure: cycling through a forest and sleeping next to the beach. #

I can’t believe it turned into reality the very first day!
Today I checked the distance I cycled! 45km although I started at 19.00 in the evening.

Day 4
Day 2 the calming of myself
July 30, 2022 in Latvia ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C
Day 2
All the pressure from the preparation dropped and I needed to completly reenergise mentally and physically. So why not make a break the the second day? I ended up enjoying the first part of the day fully. But felt super exhausted and down after a 3 hours nap in the afternoon. I felt like someone puts pressure on me to keep on with my productivity mindset from the last days. I couldn’t really convince myself to let it go. I guess it still needs some time. Missing the sunset also made me kinda angry, but the calming of the evening atmosphere with a nice audiobook from my childhood let me find peace for the evening. It seems that I really needed this break for myself. But the bass is still waiting to be played, the resistance is not gone just because im in the forest :)

Let’s see how I can convince my critic to be a bit more supportive the next days ;)Read more
