Breakfast was at 8am and, of course, yummy. This one was made for us and served for about $15. So, no sneaking of sandwiches in our to go bags (could have and probably should have taken about half of it to go instead of eating it all... except the bacon. I did not eat all that bacon, which included Lynn's portion).

We left around 9am. It was about 65 degrees with a cool wind to our backs! 

We had bike paths and paved peaceful country roads today... no highways.

This is where we turned east away from the coastline.
After many seconds of Google research, I've determined these are Common Crane (of Eastern Europe).

I didn't need Google to tell me these are Elk.

We got to Limbazi around 2pm.

We rented an apartment through booking.com for $80.62. It wasn't quite ready.  We talked to the owner. She gave us the key.  We put our stuff inside and put our bikes in the barn. 

There'sheven shampoo AND conditioner! 

Then went to eat lunch / dinner. My pasta with curry and chicken was delicious and only $8.50.

Wallace will be happy sleeping in a barn tonight. 

Since we left Finland, we've been sleeping with screenless windows open at night... no bugs, no mosquitoes.

Here in Limbazi, today the sun sets at 10pm and rises at 452am.

Yesterday, I saw a couple of small dead snakes on the road and a baby dear. Other than a few birds, this is the first road kill we've seen.
