The route

The end of the travelling was approaching. I had already bought bus and ferry tickets from Riga  to Helsinki. So, I took it easy.

I was riding as slow as I could. I bought smoked fish from a roadside booth and had a break by the sea. The fish was really fresh and delicious.

The campsite choice was not too good, maybe I should have stayed at Ragaciems, where there is a bigger campsite and overall the village looks better than Lapmezciems. But one cannot always make prefectly informed choices. The Lapmezciems campsite was by the side of the road, the sanitary rooms were not in a good shape or clean. But I found a peaceful corner for my tent. I went out for a dinner at a local restaurant and for a walk at the beach. Meantime, a group of young people had also found their way to the campsite so I wasn’t the only camper anymore. I enjoyed my last night in the tent.

The nice road construction. Luckily, there was not that much traffic. The lights are supposed to let one direction at the time – but does it note the cyclists?
