Christian's Journal Entry for Day 25 : Emma and I awoke and packed as usual but today Larry will replace Emma so I removed the modification and raised the seat before breakfast.

Emmanuelle's Journal Entry for Day 25 : I was able to sleep in that day because Larry had volunteered to take my place for a bike ride of 100 km to Ivankiv while Vlad accompagnied of his son drove me to the community center of Ivankiev. How nice of them to come up with this idea.
