Boring road again, just forest. I rode straight ahead something like 40 km, just because there really wasn’t nice places to stop. I had my lunch near Pavilosta, at some old park where there’s a outdoors theater. It started to rain after the lunch. So, I put the rain gear on and continued.
I had a stop at the R krogs, by an old mill.
At Jurkalne, there are several campsites. Last time I stayed at a hotel, but this time I wanted to camp. I made maybe not so informed choice quite near to the hotel and village shop. There was no drinking water or shower, but the host brought me a 5 litre can of fresh water. For the shower – well, the sea is very close so I changed to a swimming suite, took my bag and shampoo. As I got closer to the shore I could already hear the waves, despite it wasn’t really windy. Then, it turned out that there’s a cliff so the sea was down there below. I followed the path left and found the stairs. Bravely, I got into the waves, washed my hair while keeping my contact lenses and swam along the waves.
At the camp, I made myself a dinner in a shelter that was made of a lorry container or something. It started to rain again, so after the dinner I retreated to my tent and fell asleep.
