We had breakfast on the front porch at 8am. It was good, but no oatmeal or coffee or tea. It was only $6 each so we figured that was OK. The hosts were a mom and daughter. Neither spoke English very well, and the mom didn't know how to use the credit card machine. The daughter had driven to town, so Lynn had some Euros and paid in cash.  
At about 830am, we walked the 0.8 mile on the sandy road back to the paved road and started riding. 
We had 65 miles to go and the weather was beautiful. 65 to 80 degrees with a cool and very light head /side wind.

We found a Camino sign again.


In the town of Ilawa, we found a bicycle shop where Lynn got her chain replaced. My chain is still good.

After Ilawa, we started seeing lots and lots of vegetable fields. I saw cabbage, onions, maybe potatoes,  maybe beets, maybe lettuce,  dill and several others (and a goose farm).
We had a lot of miles and no problems... just the usual mix of good roads and really horrible paved cobblestoney roads. We finally made it to Wabrzezno around 6pm. We stopped at Stary Mlyn restaurant.  I got a pulled pork sandwich with lettuce,  pickles,  jalapeƱos and spicy sauce. It was delicious! The sandwich and a pitcher of lemonade was $15.63. 
Wabrzezno has a nice town square but we didn't look much. 
We got to Hotel Rondo around 7pm. The room was $86.33 and it was not down a long gravel road!
