Update - Thursday, 21st May 2009

We left the Hotel Dwor Szczepanskich this morning to head for Cracow (Krakov) a distance of only 62 miles.  We arrived at the Camping Clepardia in the afternoon.

 

Our Hein Gericke Taureg suits proved their worth today. Having removed the Goretex linings and opened the zipper vents, we were kept comfortable and cool in the 28 degree heat, which was just as well because we had to thread our way through several long tailbacks on the E4 toll road.

 

We arrived at the Camping Clepardia in the afternoon.  The site has excellent facilities, including WiFi and fridges located throughout the site to keep our beer cold.  The showers and toilets are immaculate.

 

A biker contact, Chris aka Sambor (who got in contact with us via the Horizons Unlimited Hub, came along on his Honda Africa Twin to arrange a bike ride with his mates this evening.  He speaks Russian and has biked in most of the Central Asian countries.  We’ll be seeking his tips and advice about travelling through Russia and Kazakhstan over a beer tonight.
