Day 10 – Monday 11th of March
Alarm goes off at 0600 feeling refreshed after my day of in Tallinn. I open the curtains to see that it’s been snowing all night so I hope it’s not been to heavy and cause any delays today. It turns out I’m not the only one who’s a long way from home as I spot this Iranian truck waiting to check in for a boat to Finland just before I set off.
It’s a easy going even with the snow coming down and makes the scenery very nice on the drive. I eventually make it out of the snow after a couple of hours. I stop at the Latvian border to get my road tax, just as I’m setting off the snow starts coming down again.
Then I head south on the A1 towards Riga running right along the coast of the Baltic Sea. Next stop is the Lithuanian border where I stop and fuel up and get my road tax once again. I set off on the A10 heading towards Kaunas then on towards Poland, as I’m pulling out of the garage the snow is back! I get to a place called Jeziokri just over the border and park up for the night in a TIR park have a bit of tea in the restaurant and a quick look around the truck store at all the toys before getting back in the truck to go to bed and you guessed it, it’s snowing again so looks as if this weather is going to be following me back to the UK I think.
