Day 5: July 23. Camp 10 km from the Lithuanian border (LT) - Camping at 50km from the Russian border (LV) - 523km - two-way paved road with firm changed.
woke up at 8 and Lithuanian campito peak. Victor pretty tired, had slept badly.
find good roads in Lithuania, two-way, we could go at a good pace although we try to keep going to 90, no hurry and so good to get to Moscow. We stopped in Kaunas, the first major city to find. We take local money to get and print the trip insurance in July, that we had stayed in Madrid. It took a bit to find a cafe with a printer, but in the end, asking you come to Rome and we could find one run by a abuelilla with which Julius had some trouble to make him understand that the printer had run out of paper ... This insurance travel was required for entry into Russia and that it was essential to get it.
From here many works, here are a sack and cut the whole road, leaving a lane of Live Earth and, through traffic lights, the world is passing cars with exploding stones of the work. We arrived
Karasay and pass the town without any frontiers striking (apart from a couple of police cars with their occupants a nap right there ...), we crossed a bridge and we were in Latvia.
After advancing a few miles down a road we decided to go right into a field and stopped to eat at 16.30h, Close to the road. The tasting menu we had been long since they were mentally chickpeas with tomato sauce pot, ham and a tin of mussels, seasoned with bread all that hard as hell ... we brought the Sabeco! (!?) In Madrid. Take! From here I urge you probeis. For us it was a real delicacy, hmmm (less intrepid, if desired, can use fresh bread, but it was not the same)
Aran decided to call to inquire about the two problems we had on the table: on the engine sound rays and on the other the rear suspension, we carried abutting despite not loading 70 l of petrol reserve or himself Aran. We feared that the situation worsened to reach the hard ground Kazakh and Mongolian, with the risk of breaking the shaft or caps, which gave way before. We finally decided to bring a bottle of additive to other Slick 50 (holy hand!) And a set of springs with more height. More wood! We continued straight
very wide (typical of Lithuania and Latvia) under overcast skies but no rain.
Just when we were thinking of stopping to camp we saw a sign for camping at about 50km. the border with Russia and we turn to sleep. It was a camp classic, there was no room for tents, bungalows only. After a few moments of doubt as to whether we were allowed to pay in euros or dollars (again we had no local currency and no credit cards) the nice receptionist called the big boss and agree a fair price, 10 euros. The tenants were, interestingly, mothers with prams and disabled many, many athletes looking a little strange, would a merger for Paralympics that would soon be in Beijing?. When you turn on the stove to prepare dinner we had a little moment of panic when he went off the gasoline from the nozzle and ignited some grass ... often picture ... luckily no one noticed a foot flame ... After dinner (over couscous with vegetables ... sauce seasoned with squid dish American ... hard as hell) we saw a magnificent sunset on the lake shore CIRM.
shop already prepared all the documentation that we were going to ask the Russian frontier the next day. We have the money we had in each currency and divide it between them, to declare each half (knock on wood). Passports, car documents, money and leaf Russian translated into English with the data that we would have to fill in customs. All set. A sleeping. It was 23.30.
