Misc

Sleeping Spot

• The sleeping spot was okayish, a bit small but sufficient for my small tent; could be too small in summer
• Two picnic tables and some space to pitch small tents
• I was quite tired from the previous days and thus started to sleep at 20:00
• at around 21:30 a car came, and a couple of minutes later another one
• second car was cop car checking the other, which were some finns on their voyage to France

Night

• a bit cold on the back in the night, could have been the sleeping pad which lost a bit of air
• feet very warm, had to remove socks at one point

Day 2

• breakfast was prepared sandwich, so didnt need to much preparation
