Early start in great weather. A few 9 and 10% ascents, before coming to the border with Lithuania.

Some milestones today: starting week four of my tour, passing 2000km and entering a new country!
After the border following road 185 to Vilkaviskis, a medium size town. I have hardly seen bike lanes in Lithuania today, but the roads are good, and on most there was litt traffic, so fine for me. Work meeting at 9.

| I see a lot of these towers. I suppose they are water towers. Suggestions welcome. |
Also here, like in the other countries I have passed, most of the route goes through agricultural land.

After Vilkaviskis I followed road 138 to Kurdikos Naumiestis, a small town on the border with Kaliningrad.
 |
| Border with Russuia. Note the Russian border pole in the red ring. |
 |
| Small river forming the border. Reminds me of "Grense Jakobselv" in Northern Norway |
Continuing to Sakiai, and finally road 137 to Jurbarkas. This was the busiest road of the day, with lumber trucks passing rather close.
Staying in a small hut in Camp Genys in Jurbarkas.
110 km in 8:15 hours, active time 6 hours.
Total 2070km.
Stay out of Russia! And congratulations! The concrete tower is from the Cold War, for spying pigeons. Still necessary there.
