I'm melting on the last day of August<\/h1>\n

It happened - holidays 2019. Since I can remember in the summer we went to warm countries to relax, sunbathe and not stress with the question of whether I will wear a sweatshirt or a T-shirt alone tomorrow. I think those times are gone. Now you go on vacation in "cold countries". The best proof of this is last month's trip to bikepacking to Norway<\/a>. Last weekend we didn't have enough time, and the announced temperatures and the fact that I was forced to work from home for two weeks announced only one thing: I would melt.<\/p>\n

The most important information in this entry that you should remember is the fact that Suwalki is not Podlasie, much less Masuria.<\/strong>
\nSuch a mistake is more or less how to tell Widze \u0141\u00f3d\u017a fans that you are behind Legia Warsaw, because both are playing football.<\/strong><\/p>\n

And here appears a place that I have heard about since childhood, and I have never visited it. A place whose name I heard all my youth every day around 19:57 from a nice lady saying: "the coldest in Suwa\u0142ki, temperature (put a few less here than at your place)". Why would anyone go to Suwa\u0142ki? Why?<\/p>\n

Suwa\u0142ki Region - everything is bad<\/h2>\n

I don't often say that, but we did everything wrong with this trip. This is a plus that we will be better prepared for the next visit. We did not quite get out of bed, the route, food, time spent there and generally ... everything did not come out. I'm not saying it was bad, but it could have been so much better.<\/p>\n

We booked accommodation in the town of Smolniki in Telimena Manor<\/a>. The description convinced us: House "Telimena Manor"<\/a> in Smolniki, located in the Suwa\u0142ki Landscape Park, around 8 lakes, beautiful views. Outdoor scenes for the film Pan Tadeusz were shot here.<\/strong> Viewpoint on the Kleszczewskie lakes. <\/em>The choice seemed to be the ideal starting point for cycling. Unfortunately, the day before arrival the reservation was canceled because the plumber was reportedly broken. So we lived in Agritourism at the lake Sejwy<\/a>. It can be said that for the weekend:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div><\/div>\n

We have stayed there.<\/h2>\n

Such a joke. Our house was located exactly in the middle of nowhere and no asphalt road led to it. It was very good and inscribed in the atmosphere of the trip, including attractions such as evening events at the Akcent band carried by the lake and dishes for eggs in the shape of women's breasts.<\/p>\n

If you've ever wondered why in Pan Tadeusz (or on the Nemunas) the descriptions of nature are so long - I invite you to the Suwa\u0142ki region, everything immediately becomes clear. You can't write about anything else here.<\/strong><\/p>\n

And I have a problem with this entry, because I can't write 2,000 words about a field with hills and cows.<\/p>\n

I also have a problem, because I was convinced that I had never been to the Suwa\u0142ki region, but as it turned out during a deep sweeping - I was with Panda and more ... on bicycles. A few years ago, we drove her around during the Thousand Lakes Ring ultramarathon. At the time, I thought I would be a vlogger (before it was popular). If you want to see us at the time when I rode in ninja position on Cipollini, and Panda rode 630km in Chinese clothes for a bar, plastic shoes and a bike with the price of her current wheel, I invite you to the trailer:<\/p>\n
