It is predicted to be around 31°C and about 220 km to Gomel. Planned route: Take the P31 to Parycy in Babrujsk, then take the P82 to Retschyza. After Retschyza, take the M10 (highway) to Gomel.

Reached the hotel in Gomel at 15:00h, with 32°C, finally under the shower at 15:05h ...
Tomorrow the whole day in Gomel.
