With a short detour to Stegna to see the Baltic sea and having to drive around  Kaliningrad Oblast, the Russian exclave between Poland and Lithuania on the Baltic Sea.

To avoid using one of our entries in to Russia. It was a long ride.

Poznan, Poland

The drive was smooth and just clean, pleasant, country-side views. Our first stop in Poland is a small place and not very exciting the weather was not the best.  But it was only to prepare us for a very special place. Riga our next stop.
