End of Second day (including day One)!

---

Hi folks. Sorry for lack of update yesterday but the first hotel had no internet connection. The first day was very tough and after a celebrity send off from Vilnius we headed into the hills. Lots of undulations and cool weather made us realise that we had arrived. The afternoon route was a lot flatter which was good however it started to rain. We arrived at the first hotel in Panevysys (excuse spelling) cold tired and wet. I could hardly get my case up to the room. Good food and an instant sleep however helped with the overnight recovery. Up bright and early today (Tuesday) and we set off for the lake at Plateliai. Long flat roads a quick stop for lunch and then we were on our way again. A very long ride up long undulating roads sees us safely to hotel number two at the lake side in Platelai.
