I had checked in, set up the tent and wanted to take a shower after an hour. The washroom was locked! Meanwhile, it was already 8 o'clock but fortunately the lady at the reception was still there. She gave me a key. If I had been a bit later, I would have had to wash in the lake - it's chilly here at eight o'clock because that's when the sun goes down - and go to the toilet in the bushes. Strange mentality, that receptionist.<\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f85bae1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"f85bae1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/reachoutforacause.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/12aug-25_-Op-en-af-fietspad-768x768.webp\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-image-7399\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/reachoutforacause.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/12aug-25_-Op-en-af-fietspad-768x768.webp 768w, https:\/\/reachoutforacause.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/12aug-25_-Op-en-af-fietspad-300x300.webp 300w, https:\/\/reachoutforacause.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/12aug-25_-Op-en-af-fietspad-1024x1024.webp 1024w, https:\/\/reachoutforacause.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/12aug-25_-Op-en-af-fietspad-150x150.webp 150w, https:\/\/reachoutforacause.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/12aug-25_-Op-en-af-fietspad-12x12.webp 12w, https:\/\/reachoutforacause.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/12aug-25_-Op-en-af-fietspad.webp 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4a92881 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4a92881\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>Diving and climbing bike path<\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8469877 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"8469877\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">August 13: Go\u0142dap - Camping Viktorija (LT)<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-83da1e8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"83da1e8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div dir=\"auto\"><div dir=\"auto\"><div class=\"xdj266r x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs x126k92a\"><div dir=\"auto\"><p>Today would be a route up against the border.
