PIEROGI
The first thing I did in the morning was a ride to the local polling station to cast a vote for the President of Poland. Don't ask me about the election result. The public is strongly polarized, and we might be condemned to a brute, fraud, drug addict and a gangster for the next five years...
Next, I rode to the other side of the Kampinos National Park (KPN) for lunch
"Following the flavour trail". Gościniec na szlaku (The Inn On The Trail) is a cyclist friendly restaurant in Palmiry.
So many signs against alcohol? Oh well, the fridge contains both non-alcoholic and regular ales there!
A map of bike trails in the eastern KPN.
Żur (Zhur) was my soup of choice. It is sour thick and nourishing soup full of white sausage and boiled egg based on fermented bread.
@BlackHand: To my surprise, I could get pielmieni as well! I asked, and got it confirmed: these are little pork-filled dumplings served in broth.
Pierogi Ruskie. The staple Polish food was made with potato only filling (no curd), making it proper vegan food if you didn't ask for bacon
Pork Chop made with Coca Cola is the specialty of the restaurant. I heard other people were delighted, and will definitely try it in the future!
Sunday was a hot day. 27 C is high as for Poland. My original plan for the return was making a long loop on the roads. Eventually, I decided I would ride in the forest to hide myself from the sunshine! I made a promise already a long time ago: Never ride inside KPN during the warm season (as the forest roads get full of sand). However, Komoot promised the "yellow" hike trail to be hardpacked and easy, so I took the plunge. I need to admit it was very little sand on the route!
It could be garlic, IDK.
A dilapidated gangway across the Debłe Marshes. According to the sign, you need to walk your bike there.
Zaborowski Canal flowing through the marshes. I was reminded by Strava I was already there in March 2023, and the trail had been crossed by 25 e-bikers with Strava
Charming Street in my neighbourhood. I swear, that's the name!

Charming Street? Not.
Sympathy for that result Stefan. Your own mini Trump. Tusk will have his hands full now. I'm sick of waking up to crap election results.PIEROGI
