In Palanga we stayed at a small hotel without a reception. There was only a restaurant on the ground floor. When we should leave the hotel in the morning the restaurant was closed. Our car was trappen by 2 other cars. We could not get out of the parking lot. Finally we managed to get one car moved. The other one we sneaked pased (sorry if any of the bushes got permanent damage).
We were driving from Palanga to Riga today. It is about 300 km. We had the power to drive all the way but would be about empty on arrival. Therefore, we planned two charges. In Latvia, there is mostly one type of charging station. It turned out that they worked with one of our charge cards, but they were not adapted to Tesla and charged only with 16A. It is not a good feeling when the screen shows that the estimated charging time is six hours.
We ended up charging an hour so we were sure to reach the destination on the outskirts of Riga.
We hoped we could be allowed to charge from the house contact when we arrived. We were allowed that.
Much of the road today was a dirt roads. This was combined with heavy rain. The result was an extremely dirty car. Car wash tomorrow.
Anne has for several days tried to take a picture of stork. There’s lots of stork here. She has either been late, or she has missed. Today she managed – in a way.
