We've finally crossed the border to Poland! At first sight there really isn't a huge difference between eastern Germany and western Poland, but then you start noticing that there are much fewer cyclists and bike lanes.
The Poles are doing their best to improve the cycling experience, though, and we cruised along some really smooth bike lanes today on our way east. Around 5 PM we decided to call it a day, exhausted from the heat, and went to a gas station to ask about campsites.
The guy at the gas station started by saying he was sorry but there weren't that many services for cyclists here. "You should go to Germany, it's just 30 kilometers from here", he suggested. But he wasn't being unfriendly, just stating a fact, because then he asked his friend to guide us to a cheap but cozy motel nearby. So here we are now, ready to venture even further away from Germany tomorrow.
