After the search for a new mascot yesterday was without succsess and I was afraid having to leave Gdansk without a new one, Joda crossed my way. He was standing next to the computer at the reception of the Old Town Hostel. And he was up for a journey and jumped on the seat on top of my bikes front wheel. He left a note though, saying: "Joda gone travelling. Will be back. May the force be with you!" So at some point he will be "package-ported" back to Gdansk. This made me very happy indeed. This statue is also more solid than the happy lucky cat, whose Youarticulations suffered a lot because of the bumpy roads. Then again Joda is a Jedi, no wonder.
The weather was changing today and I was riding further east together with the rain clouds. I got luckey with the roads, only little traffic and everything was nicely rideable. My knie is a lot better and I think now I understand it's signals better. It was nice riding again after three days.
For the night I chose to campe wild. The spot I chose, I noticed later, is not far from a waist dump, but as long as the wind does not change it's not bad here.
also the landscape changed, there are more lakes and channels, I reached the border to the Masuren, also called the land of thousand lakes. Michal, a dude from the hostel, told me though, that there are even more than thousand lakes, beside some other useful information about his country and about which routs to take.
I was first attracted by this region because I heard about the big ancient forests. It turns out that this biggest connected peace of forests lies at the eastern border of Poland. Since Oktober is approaching quickly now, I decided to save visiting the very east of poland for another time and see that before mid Oktober I get a couple of kilometers south. The last thing I want is to be surprised by the Polnish winter.
So from tomorrow one the major direction changes from east to south for the comming weeks.
