Z buta dookoła Świata reported that he walked 62 km to Garies. He wrote that he was tired because he had eaten little since the previous day, and while walking, he felt muscles he usually did not feel. He couldn't find a suitable place to camp because, as he described, the area was fenced, and there were few bridges, so he completed the entire planned distance. He reached Garies around 7:30 PM, shortly after dark. He was refused accommodation at a gas station, but they pointed him to a nearby campground, where he paid 25 zlotys. He added that along the way he received a few gifts from people who reacted with disbelief to his story of nearly 25,000 km traveled on foot. He also described a meeting with a live, intensely red grasshopper. He didn't touch it because he suspected it might secrete a defensive substance; he had previously seen several dead specimens. #podróże #przygoda #trasa (translated)
