Today weather is hot and sunny but the ride was so uneventful and boring on route 254, the traffic is heavy with lots of small towns,shops by the roadside,that means lots of traffic lights interrupted a smooth ride. The only event worth to mention probably is the street protest i happened to witness with a sudden appearance of many policemen to control the protesters, i didn't want to stop for long,so i really don't know what they are fighting for.The plan to find a camp in the only road station was abandoned as i find it not conducive to put up a night there with the demonstration going on. So i continued further,from the map it shows no more road station along the way, chances are high for wild camping.I filled up my water bottles at 7-11,time is fast running out at 3.30pm, when i saw an empty flat land under the flyover, without any hesitation i quickly set up my tent for another night.
