Distance: 130km
Total: 887km
Day started with the goodbyes to the people that had created that mini community as most were leaving that morning. It was warm again in the morning, though there were some clouds on the sky. Temperature didn't rise as high as earlier days, but the humidity had risen, which resulted haze in the air.
The blisters made wearing the shoes pretty painful, but they were an non issue while pedaling, but made their presence known each time when I jumped off the bike. Somehow messed up on getting to road 220, and decided to just take the bigger A18/E28, which wasn't as bad as I had feared. Made my way to Alytus despite police car stalking me - driving past me several times with slow speed, then I saw it parked on side of the road with officers out doing something. Waved at them as I passed and didn't see them after that.
Decided to get some food in Alytus, first from restaurant and then from shop for evening/morning. Not much the usual food I dare to carry with me that I carried on my earlier trips thanks to high temperatures - now its been dry products, highly salty meat and apples mostly. Found Chinese restaurant from the town and gave it a go in hopes to receive cheerful Asian style service as I must say that most baltics been pretty grumpy and many times I'm there just to annoy them. And unfortunately the restaurant was run by grumpy locals and food lacked spices for Chinese food - got some training using sticks at least.
Last 10km to the campsite was great small curvy road going between fields with lakes in distance. Campsite or campsites are however something totally different, the whole coast is huge campsite for few kilometers on lake Dusia - and there's incredible amount of people. No wonder as the lake is crystal clear with sandy shallow shores all the way. Settled my tent among many of its kind and went wash off the dirt and sweat in the lake. Was also unable to find any other nationalities on a short walk I was able do - blisters hurt :/
And tomorrow to Poland!
