Distance: 162km
Total: 1162km
It rained couple times during the night, which made me pack quite wet tent in the morning and skies were still cloudy, but breaking up. Went to the local bar that was supposed to have Wi-Fi and it had it also - figuring out the password took a while as people can be hard (and only speak polish). Ate some food there also.
The first 20km was infested with trucks, but truck traffic slowed down as I got off road 61. After about 45km, I took a small road through largest national park in Poland, which mostly protects large wetlands and fauna within its limits. The road was mostly infected by potholes and rough asphalt surface, which forced the average down a bit - but with this, the road was all mine for those 40 kilometers, and yeh and those about 5 cars I saw on it.
Rest of the day was just driving on small local roads between small farming villages (one with chanting church), last 10 kilometers on road 63 was also rather lowly trafficked, which is not usual for national road. Knew that this area of Poland doesn't really have campsites, so just asked on truck parking site could I camp in the background which they agreed to. Main reason for choosing this rather noisy place was the access to shower for couple zlotys.
As I was studying next days route from the map in front of the tent, something black rose from the ground half meter in front of me and started to spit water towards me. Jumped fast rewards it and blocked the water spray that was starting to come towards the open tent door. In the end just knotted plastic bag on top of it to prevent the water spraying. Pig truck must have had fun watching from his truck about 30 meters away with loads of squeaking pigs. Truck left soon after also.
