Memorable parts? Cycling along the beach near Riga, and then down the Curonian Spit on beautifully maintained cycle routes through trees were both wonderful. Tips? Averaging about 50km a day on mainly flat routes, the cycling is easy and should appeal to almost any cyclist who likes a potter, but might frustrate those looking for something more challenging. Easy countries to holiday in and things essentially worked really well. Do take mosquito repellent - most places are fine,... (more)Edward Milford

Memorable parts? Probably the most memorable day was arriving at our hotel in Buzet at the end of the second day.

Memorable parts? Well, most memorable was possibly cycling up a zig zag mountain road in the teeming rain with a river coursing down the road!! That was freak weather though. Most memorable in a good way was the wild flowers, which were everywhere and spectacular, and the food, which was the best I have ever eaten. Tips? Do some training riding up hills! On two of the days there are very long climbs (and very long descents afterwards). Bring clothes for a wide range of weathers if... (more)Wendy Pillar
