Breakfast was set to start at 7:30, but I finished work a bit late so just before 08:00 headed towards breakfast. And what a selection of everything there was, lots of small things just waiting to be tasted!    By...

Had an really early morning, woke up 06:00 and breakfast already 06:30.  Breakfast really nice, now as a new thing even some fresh juice they made there on the spot. Once work was again done I rushed out from Warsaw as it was about to start raining and it looked that way pretty much all day. I needed to take fastest route as for some reason my navigator was not willing to import my planned route… but this was ok as this way I probably managed not to get wet! Had one stop for fuel and coffee on the way, other than that just drove.  Last...

Once I woke up started thinking about the route for today and tomorrow. I still have the option of going through Tallinn or via St. Petersburg and I decided that final decision is done based on how the driving feels today. St. Petersburg route would almost for sure mean one more night compared to Tallinn option. Was downstairs bat 07:00 for breakfast, couple of other quests there as well. Breakfast was just perfect, would make me drive all day long with this.       ...

We had agreed to have breakfast at 07:00 and once we walked down there was like half done. Hot water and juice ready, marmalade and butter on table but no bread.  But after a while lady came and handed over to us the bread as well and some cheese & sausage as well. Good to go.   ...

We had set alarm to wake us up at 06:00, had a slow breakfast and then packed rest of the stuff. Went to load bike with some packages already and found this on the way:  Turned out that this man came from a 4-day wedding and had slept there whole night… and slept until just before we left…  ...

Woke up early and while waiting for breakfast to be served at 07:00 checked how fast the internet connection was here in hotel Komovi. Quite good result for a hotel!  Restaurant was totally empty when I got down, needed to wait a bit and search after someone from the reception.   ...

Breakfast was about to start by 07:00 and I almost slept too late! Was right after seven downstairs and again – first one to arrive. Even the lights were not on. Had quite a nice breakfast, nothing fancy but everything needed to wake me up. Coffee was just excellent, just on my taste.     ...

Had a good night sleep and woke up when alarm went off at 06:30. Once I got my eyes open, started making my own breakfast since in Aranyszarvas Vendégház there was no such option available as breakfast. Room had a water cooker so did not have to take out my own. Two pieces of porridge and coffee and I was totally awake.  By 08:30 all packed and I was ready to ride again. Weather was looking really nice.  ...

Woke up something like 04:30 in the morning and started thinking what to do next. Decided to make a call to Eurooppalainen Emergency Service for address where it would be most simple to get treatment and got an address in Warsaw to go to.
So plan was then to head towards Warsaw which was only some 200 km away from Bialystok.
Breakfast was served starting from 07:00 in Gościnna Kamienica and had something to eat. Not feeling very hungry after eating that big monster tortilla last evening.

After breakfast just enjoyed my time in the room relaxing. ...

Breakfast at Hotel Gustavs was starting pretty late, 08:00. They did have breakfast room and check-out in the same building so no morning walk needed. Breakfast was fine, nothing fancy but just enough normal bread, eggs, juice and coffee.  Rooms in this hotel are all different. Mine had separate bedroom and a living room.   ...

Once I woke up I checked latest ferry ticket prices over to Tallinn and discovered that 10:30 ferry was some 74€ and 13:30 was only 28€ so easy decision was made and I was in no hurry anymore. Went early to the garage to finish packing the bike, did not have enough time to do that yesterday and take bike to home. I did have everything already packed back at home, now just some final tuning of them.  There had been some news that they would check more carefully everybody’s travel documents in the harbor so I left even earlier than usually and still there...

Even after a long day yesterday, I slept only some 5 hours and woke up before 06:00. Best Western Malmö Arena Hotel was a good one as it had water boiler in the room with two coffee portions as well so got my first dose of coffee without need to bring my own cooker.  Room in this hotel was pretty nice, view from this first floor room I got could have been a bit better, but was not going spend my time there looking outside so not bothering me.     ...
