23rd August, day 12 - Warsaw
I was looking forward to exploring Warsaw, and after some struggle managed to register and load a little bit of credit to the Veturilo city bike system (hint: if registering and adding credit via the mobile app doesn’t work, it didn’t for me, try the website). However the temperature is around 30C with not much wind. And after checking out of the hotel my next shower will be in Vilnius at around 2pm, after a day of exploring Warsaw and then a night bus, and morning exploring Vilnius. Thus I decided it’s probably better to play it safe and stick to air conditioned cafes and pubs for the day. I also haven’t had a break day since the start of the trip. Have to leave exploring Warsaw for another time!
What I did see was the parade square surroundings and some of the fancy buildings Warsaw city centre has to offer. That PKiN building is just so awesome btw, I will need to have a closer look next time. Found a Caffe Nero (one of my favourite chains!) and then using Untappd, a nice beer pub called Hopito. Good selection of local beers on tap and a good bottle selection. Also, pizza, with no less than four vegan options. Not the best pizza though, more on the ok level.
Having spent the hot day relaxing with air conditioning, it was time to head to the LuxExpress bus leaving for Vilnius at 9pm. My first time on a LuxExpress bus, which has been highly recommended as the best way to travel through the Baltic countries. The seating was a bit tighter spaced than I had expected, especially regarding leg room. Otherwise no complaints, except that the bus was packed full and I was an idiot for not buying the seat next to me at booking time.
Will I get any sleep? Earplugs? Check. Inflatable pillow? Check. Still feels unlikely.
Total kilometres travel approx (till end of day): 2430km

It’s baking hot in New York, which can only mean one thing for the city’s small mammal population: it’s splooting season.

EDF cuts output at nuclear power plants as French rivers get too warm
The French energy supplier #EDF is temporarily reducing output at its #nuclear power stations on the #Rhône and #Garonne rivers as heatwaves push up river temperatures, restricting its ability to use river water to cool the plants.
The majority-state-owned company, #Europe’s biggest producer of nuclear energy, said it would extend output cuts at several power stations on the two rivers as the hot spell continues – but that a minimum level of output would be maintained to keep the grid steady.
EDF warned of potential output cuts at its nuclear power plants #Tricastin, #StAlban and #Golfech in coming days due to high temperatures in the Rhône and Garonne rivers. It started imposing production restrictions in mid-July at Tricastin, St Alban and #Bugey on the Rhône and #Blayais at the mouth of the #Garonne amid sweltering temperatures.
