Day 1 of my 900km ride from Riga to Leba.
Trip over was actually a bit rough and I made the mistake of having a cabin at the front of the boat. The motion was a bit much so i had to go up top to get some fresh air!
Late start due to the ferry arriving at 1100 (because of the bad weather they had to slow down) and also reduced mileage as no real hurry atm. Have 7 days to cover the distance so with an average of 150 a day could do it in 6.
The ride out of Riga was interesting as any attempt to leave a big city is. Got lost a few times and had to avoid some big roads but eventually found the way out and followed the coast. Lots of smoked fish booths very much like when i entered Riga so obviously a big thing here.
Early stop as I needed to stay somewhere with evening meal options as it seems most camping is self catering around here. Stayed in a lovely old guest house, actually in a log cabin in the garden, which was a bit like a sauna. They did however have a shared kitchen so could grab some food at my convenience.
