A nearby Lidl's provides our provisions.
Next morning we stow the tent in record time as a shower approaches, then set off in drizzle over the bridge across the river Oder and into Poland!
The first few buildings are all vegetable shops, then a large brothel! The next village on the map is just a very big modern petrol station and cafe, where we buy two very good coffees and Danish pastries the size of plates, for about £2.00.
The many shelves behind the tills are filled exclusively with Vodka bottles. The day is sunny from here on. We don't have to take the unsurfaced side roads as the main road is quiet so a very speedy cycle. At Debno there is a big busy street market of mainly second hand goods.The shops around the square have dusty windows and very old fashioned stock of granny clothes and shoes.
Through glorious oak woods and fruit farms to the city of Gorzow Wielkopolski. An enormous Tescos on the outskirts and a smaller one irreverently, on the central square opposite the church. We spend a tiny sum on two large bags of groceries, including a bottle of wine! Frequent trams rattle by. Our Warm Shower hosts are five miles on in a village, with a beautiful modern house set in an orchard of cherries, apples and nut trees. We hang the tent from two trees in the evening sun to dry out. condensation, then take it down dry 1/2 hr later, just before a five minute thunder storm and downpour-phew!
