I slept like a log. I much prefer it in the tent than any hotel. I left early, heading towards Siauliai. This would leave in me in a perfect position to get to Riga for Saturday where I can rest. One of the good things about Lithuania is cyclists can pretty much go wherever they like. So off I headed on one of the A roads to get me out of Kaunas.
Luckily for me the headwind I had had the previous day had gone and the weather remained overcast. It rained a little but nothing to get me too wet.
The route seemed to go quite quickly. There were only miner climbs but it was mainly flat fields. When I got to Siauliai a massive thunderstorm struck so I took shelter. The rain was torrential; it wasn’t long before the roads were rivers.
At the tourist information office they pointed me in the direction of a campsite about 4km out of town. The campsite wasn’t really a campsite as such, just a restaurant that would accept tents and campers for the night, but it was adequate for the one night I needed it and the meal I had there was lovely.
