Day 3 -Ventspils to Nica

Day 3 of my ride from Riga to Leba.

Awesome nights sleep as I was so exhausted from yesterday's ride. Today i feel like i had so much more energy 

Skipped breakfast and was on the road by 0445 leaving behind a very sleepy Ventspils. 

Today's ride was so different from yesterday's as it was primarily through farmland with plenty of things to see including 20kms of roadworks. 

Again by lunchtime the thunderstorms had failed to arrive so it was just hot and humid. Thank goodness I have plenty of factor 50. Had to stop many times just so I could get out of the Sun and lie under a tree as the heat just sucks out all the energy. Must have drank 6 litres today during the ride. 

Stopped for lunch at a supermarket and had some good old Latvian cafe food. Thank goodness for pictures and Google translate as I was able to order edible food. More roadworks in the afternoon before arriving at Nica which is where I am staying tonight.

Lovely hotel, really comfortable and good food.
