A longer and getting hillier cycle gets us to the Lithuanian capital. Which starts 20km from the centre.
A day of rolling hills, some busier roads and wee villages. A coffee shop was well worth hunting down, especially on a Sunday. Visits to graveyards, often well out of town (cheaper land or not so boggy?) seemed popular.
Some cattle, mainly arable land.
Vilnius seems a churchy place by the number we passed on the way in. Tonight’s hotel is a former convent next to a church – I hope Quasimodo lies in, else I’ll through him off the bell tower.
Tomorrow a “rest day”…..
