The Baltic states and Poland

This is a quick update as we are a bit weary after riding every day in all weather. Hot, Sunny, cold and wet. You never know what the day will bring. We left Estonia and rode to Latvia staying in the capital Riga in a hotel, my Impression was the people were  not open and friendly. The Hotel was  overrun by coaches of Chinese tourists, very strange. 

We then rode through Lithuania en route we met a  nice local couple and we spent a while talking to then but we had to get  to Kaunas the capital, another capital and prices to suit. We met 3 guys from Inverness in the morning on 2 GS's and a triumph Scambler, good to talk Scottish pish with them.

Onto Poland and spent a night camping around the Wolf's Lair, the place where they tried to blow up Hitler, they could of left him outside for the mozzies to do the job.

Then via the small roads to just outside Gdansk including passing by the Russian enclave of Kalingrad , I was careful not to take a wrong turn, 
we camped again and got soaked and gave the mozzies another chance! A couple of days on the back roads through Poland, roadworks everywhere and miles of off road diversions, it was fun at first but after waiting for hours at traffic lights to get through it ceased to be fun. Into Germany now and we are staying on the small roads so far.
