October 28, 2001, Sunday. German accurate.

We woke up at 6am. Xavier went to the bathroom and I finishing the diary. Xavier comes back and I’m watching the cartoon on TV and pick up the things. Xavier was ready (earlier than me) and he whets to check the breakfast, which must be ready at 6.30. Finally, I was ready and want to left the room, when Xavier comes back. He said that there is no breakfast, hotel is empty and everything is closed. Together, we check everything once again and went outside to check is it possible to get out on motorcycle from the back-garden. We found that this is possible. We back to our room, took all our things. Xavier wrote an angry note, when he explain that he is very disappointing with the service at this hotel. When we already installed all things in the motorcycle Xavier begins to argue (aloud) is it necessary to live some money. He decided to left some money at our room. While he was upstairs, I begins to start up the motorcycle. At the same time some girl arrived to the hotel (by car). After some time Xavier appear and said that everything is OK and we could have a breakfast. Xavier asked me if I want to know the reason, why that lady was late. I said that I don’t care about this, but later I said Ok, I want to know the reason. Xavier told me that this night everybody put a clock back.

After breakfast we continue our trip. We are passing very beautiful places. But we drove at low speed, because the road is not straight.

Again we got back tire flat. When we stopped to repair it (I decided to use the recover camber, because we didn’t have the new one) one other strange devices stopped to help us. That was very advanced motorcycle with the sidecar.
 

Unfortunately they have only tubeless kit. We replaced the camber (now we were fast, because we already a good experience). We memorized, how at the first time Xavier was very gently with our Ural. We laugh at this.

I proposed to come back to the high-way, because we could move there much more faster than now. So, we back to the big road and drove on it about 80km/hour.

The sun! The sun appears! All our trip the weather was not very good it was rain or we just have overcast sky. But now we have sun! I made several photos directly from the bike.
 

On one gasoline station, where we stooped to buy some food, one man approach me and begins to speak Russian. He saw our Russian number.

We approach the city, where the friend of Xavier lived. Xavier call him, but nobody pick up the phone. Xavier left a message and install a phone in his helm, to hear the ring. After some time his friend called and said that today he can’t accepted us.

So, closer to the evening we begin to look for a hotel. We found one, but it was too expansive. The owner told us how to find more cheap one. We drive froward and with some problems we found the other hotel. This is a hotel from F1 family. You need to have a credit card to get in and there are no people there. You insert your credit card, select what you need and got two pin numbers. One to get in to the hotel and other to get in to your room.
 

Xavier was so tied, so he felled asleep on the bed (just on the bed). After some time I felled asleep also.
