I left Kiev this morning and the roads were empty as it was Sunday same anywhere in Europe I would think. The journey west towards Lviv wasmostly on good new roads highways/motorways 2 lanes. It was only poor roads riding through the towns. I have had every sort of weather today, this morning it was cold but sunny then mid-morning it turned to rain for a while then back to sun shine then mid-afternoon it started to rain quite heavy and then it got colder and colder until it was at 0 and it started to snow then for the next couple of hours it was riding in and out of snow showers. It was time to warm up so I pulled into a road side café and there were 2 old lady’s with no teeth so I said coffee a bit of nodding and pointing and the coffee was coming. In the corner was a log fire what a treat just what was needed to warm me up. Had a chat to Mitch and he was 100 mile or so from the Polish/Ukraine border, both of us have had a cold day. The coffee turned up, oh my god it was awful not very hot and thick ground coffee floating in it a few sips and I thought time for asharp exit. Back on the bike for a while and I need another brew stop. The next road side café has a hotel just next to it and that will do for me as I am cold enough for the day. Just sat in a hot shower of 30mins to warm me up. Fully refreshed admin done, now time to eat and a beer. A nice cold beer that should do the trick after a cold day on the bike!!!
