Trans Europa Day 19 Nowograd to Pultusk - 112km

After breakfast off the blue van in the schoolyard, we set off in warm overcast conditions. Having had no rain since I arrived in Vilnius, I had not packed my rain jacket on Merlin so, of course, it rained today.

I managed to tack on to a  pace line at around 25kph motored by Gareth, Louise and Jules and we rode together through to lunch at around 60km. We passed Herman Munster around Dabrowska.







I was a bit wet arriving into lunch and after being told there was really not much to see between lunch and camp other than a 2km sandy road into camp, I decided to have a leisurely lunch break with Ciaran and then van in. We waited quite some time at lunch for the remaining riders who all rolled in except without Gergo riding sweep. Gergo remembered a turn from 2 years ago and took that one. He did eventually make it to camp which was the setting for a group of 30 or so 60+ ladies with easels and paints having a great time and partying til after 9pm!



Dinner by Eszter and Gergo was Hungarian goulash.

I had already late lunched on a quite delicious tomato soup with papardella style noodles at the camp restaurant which strangely did not stock ice cream...

The picture at the right hangs inside the main guest rooms and WC facilities building. Quite innocuous and the only one of its genre.

Off to the tent after dinner and not a bad night's sleep. Just a couple of coughs and hopefully this whole chest congestion is almost done.
