We had reakfast at 730am then got on our bikes by 815am. The weather looked great with temperatures in the 70s and a very light side or head wind. 

I think it took about 20 miles before we were really out of Poznan and its suburbs. 

We went around the back side of this church because there was construction in front of it. 

We saw a lady park her bike and walk under the construction tape to get out of the back lot. So we did it with our bikes. We got yelled at. I'm pretty sure they yelled something like... "We're sorry for the inconvenience.  You ladies have a nice day! "

We kept going.

About 20 miles from Wschowa (our destination), a man passed us on his bike. He was friendly and said hello. Lynn chased him down. After a while I found them trying to talk to each other.  He is from Wschowa and will ride the rest of the way there to show us the way. 

He took us all the way to our hotel, which I'm sure was out of his way. We said thank you and goodbye.

We checked into Zamek Krolewski (Royal Palace) hotel (we may be the only ones). The room was $99.42 including breakfast. 

We ate dinner in the hotel restaurant (we were the only ones). The waitress (and hotel receptionist) recommended the Russian Dumplings (filled with cheese and onions). They were good (and $4.86). 

We walked around town for a bit.
