Christian's Journal Entry for Day 13 : I got a good jump on the day today and left at 630. My muscles were sore but I was happy to be on the bike again. Emmanuelle and I parted at the station this morning and it was already getting hot outside.

I stopped after about 25 km to go to the bathroom at a local restaurant. The restaurant was closed so I thought I could actually use the bathrooms without paying the toilet lady. To my surprise there was no one in the diner or on the street but when I opened the door to the bathrooms the bathroom lady was there.

When I arrived in Czestochowa, I was surprised to see a rather new station with wheelchair ramps. What a treat! I patiently waited for Chris to arrive. I had time to get to know all the bums; one of them was really nice. He looked like a harmless teddy bear. We managed to communicate a little but the conversation died down very quickly....click here to read more
