An update…
The last day in Finland was frustrating as it was only about 100 km and I was looking forward to some admin time. It took most of the day and I got the last ferry to Estonia only thanks to a lift from John, many thanks indeed for the help with the post too.
Estonia was a bit windy too and I lost 25km after discovering the loss of my bank card, which has been fantastic; I rely heavily on all the stuff I carry – need to look after it more…
Things were going well ’till I got about 65 km north of Vilnius. I had to navigate side roads and got my 4th puncture. I’d high hopes of a big mileage day ending with a night in Vilnus. In the end I stopped 50 km short, had a late start and a royal fiasco with the puncture involving a failed repair, a ride in a police car to get a new tube, returning the tube as it was a shrader valve and useless, a successful repair and a bus ride into Vilnus. A coach to Warsaw followed (all nighter) and I’m now waiting for a train to the Ukraine.
Will try to upload photos….
