For the second time this trip, no rain was forecasted for this travel day. We left around 10am expecting to be into Wroclaw (350 miles south) by around 4pm. However, we encountered a lot of road construction and several unsigned detours that caused me to figure out a way around them. There was lots of truck traffic and idiotic drivers who tried to pass on the right and crowd in. Much of our riding time was spent on the 5 road and portions of it weren't even on the GPS because they are new. I would guess that the road construction we've seen in Poland will go on for 10 years or more. While it is underway, all the traffic is routed through little two lane roads and small towns and villages. We took a lunch break about half way and then pressed on.
Arriving in Wroclaw around 7pm, we found our little hotel (Wroclaw City Apartments) easily and the parking as well. While they are on the second floor with no elevator, it was really cheap at around $34/night. After cooling off with showers, we walked to Old Town and found a Sushii restaurant for some late dinner. It was fascinating to watch the sushii chef who was Polish and not Japanese. We also found a dam for the Dam Tour thread that I post to and a little dwarf (apparently there are many of those to discover here).
Tomorrow we have planned a walking tour of the old town with a guide, so we'll learn more about this interesting town.
