      Sunny days, icy skies at night

      September 6, 2021 in Poland ⋅ ☁️ 11 °C

      The second night in a row with 6-7°C and we're still not quite prepared for this.

      And, clever as we are, we always choose nice lakeside camps or spots on a river bank. So nice and chilly and humid nights is all we experience so far.

      But honestly, would you trade the soft murmur of the lake shore and the foggy mornings over the river for a dry and cosy night at some copy 'n paste hotel or camp ground?

      We just rearrange our equipment and prepare for the nights and slowly but surely the taste and the smell of adventure becomes our daily experience.

      So far the countryside has been a drastic change from busy live along the river banks of Odra, Warta and Co. to slow moving late summer routines of farming and forestry around the north eastern country side.

      Another challenge we underestimated is refueling along the often very remote Greenlaning tracks. We can't recall that searching for gas stations consumed that much of our attention in previous years.

      Tonight, after having a wonderful dinner at a superb little brewery restaurant we decided spend our night in an apartment on a horse ranch. And the hot shower let's you almost forget the curses of last night's chattering teeth contest down by the river.

    • Day 4

      Castles, Dwarfs and Breweries

      September 7, 2021 in Poland ⋅ ⛅ 12 °C

      This morning we all felt too lazy to get going again. Besides the warm and cozy rooms, the excellent food, the friendly hosts and the stables full of curious hoof crawlers there is so much to be discovered nearby - and we decided to take a one-day-rest from our holidays (to be honest...we need to go shopping for some door seals to prevent the dust crawling into through the backdoors of our "Buddha").

      We have some wonderful ice cream at downtown Malbork, stroll around in one of the world's largest fortresses, enjoy the walk along the riverbanks and the coffee at friendly 25°C.

      And, of course, we find and buy some door seals, managed to silence the awfully noisy driver's seat and fix some electrical outlet issue on the Defender.

      Needles to say that we enjoy some excellent food all during the day.

      Tomorrow is the Kick Off for the next stage to take us Greenlaning up to the Lithuanian border.
