A tough end to Day 11

Well, we have arrived in Sieradz, Poland, but with horrendous road works for final few miles making it difficult for those on bikes.

Were in a v nice hotel whose various consonants and vowels are the usual jumble, but which Liz has entitled "Hotel PolitBuro" as this seems the closest. Polish is a difficult language, with no recognisable syllables or word shapes for us to latch on to.

Rained quite a bit today, and its in the mid-20s so easier to cycle in (in fact , pleasantly cool in the morning), but still very muggy and humid.

Bring on the mosquitoes (again). Gazza
