Parade – I’m singing in the rain

At the day of the parade I woke up to the sound of rain, not sprinkly light rain, it came down in buckets. I must confess I did hesitate to gear up for riding but I don’t regret riding out with about a hundred girls to parade the streets around Zakopane. I love the parade, it feels powerful to ride with so many friends from all over the world.

We paused at a ski-lift and went up to enjoy the view and have a hot cocoa. The event made the news, when I find the link to it I will post it.

We ended the parade at a restaurant and enjoyed local food, cultural games and dances.

Going south

Estonian group getting ready to leave Tallinn. We are heading south, 730 km to go, destination Kaunas in south Lithuania. It is nice to ride in a group, but if you ride on your own it gives you freedom to do what you like.

Eat an ice-cream in Riga…
I’m a lone wolf, I like it this way! Damn good ice-cream too, blueberry 😉
