Sunday, May 25, = = (Bobruisk City - Maps)

Departure to Gomel. I did a few kilometers to the snail pace, torrential rain, so I must stay in the country of Rogacev, a theater of war of the Second World War, just over half way from the town of Dovsk.
At a gas station I found shelter and I assessed what to do. In the meantime I did have a look at my car, for sure that there were problems of lack of oil or water, for so good luck, I did check the tires.
After 3 hours, it seems that heaven has given me respite and allotment so carefully and calmly.

Km 94 = Dovsk -km 97 arrival in Gomel = (tot 191 km)

Gomel 515,000 inhabitants = =

Very late arrival in town, the road was made of a continuous torrential rains and sudden spells, adessso no more rain and the sky with the sun lowers on the horizon that gives it a fairytale appearance.
The city is surrounded by nature, you see a spire of white glare, and contrast, in the distance, isolated residential buildings surrounded by forests and green meadows, lakes and small channels here and there.
I must admit that is a beautiful town, but I think a little more than 100 km there has been one of the most serious...




environmental disasters of the last century, I am aghast that this has been designed to disguise that reality, I hope this is only my bad thought.
Around this city the German army advanced in 1941 was irresistible, the retreat of Soviet troops was not painless, in addition to 90,000 soldiers killed thousands of Russian soldiers were taken prisoner, not ever know how many of them managed to survive the terrible conditions concentration camps in Germany.
Dachau - Mautausen - Auschwitz - Buchenwald - and many others scattered throughout Europe
E 'late and now have to find a hotel within the first that I find the elegant and clean, I hear that has been freshly renovated.
The doorman welcomes me with doing professional registratomi the keys to a valet who accompanies me to my room.
Do not go out, fatigue is so, ask the reception to send me a toast or whatever you can put your teeth.
E 'a young girl who looks after little, with a tray of toast and a glass of milk.
I eat everything and turn on the television, there is not much to see, that only means busts talk about things that I do not know, shut it and sleep like an angel.
