To Georgia from Northern Europe: On The Way of Freedom
Yesterday we started our journey from Riga to Georgia where we plan to make an extensive expedition and get to places where seldom has someone been.
Our first report from day 1.
At last the journey has begun! Faster to South, to warmer climate, sea and mountains!
From Rīga to Krāslava we are bothered by extremely cold Northern wind combined with rain drops and small technical problems – Andis’ bike has issues with tank’s ventilation and the fuel does not flow from one tank to another.
Around 9 pm, when twilight dominates over daylight, shortly before Krāslava we notice the road sign to Skērškānu guest house right at the coast of the river Daugava. We are lucky because the owner Jānis was already packing to go to the city. We accomodate in comfortable house warmed by fireplace. Bikes we leave in the yard, where they are guarded by Tyson (a dog not the boxer).
In the morning we find the bent air tube, fix the the problem and prepare breakfast. 30 kilometres to Belarus border.
