Ice on the Baltic

North/South Motorway to Warsaw

Sunday again meant few trucks on the road and no rush hour traffic and we averaged 88kph for the day on the way to Warsaw. We drove into Poland and stopped for the night just south of the city as driving into Warsaw to find a nice hotel is impossible (for us anyway). So we've found a crappy little hotel south of the city that we've stayed at twice now, and while it's not a very nice place (shower drips, move a toe and the bed squeaks and the room is so small that you have to step outside to change your mind) they have a nice restaurant and it's surrounded by farms so there's lots of room to walk the dogs.

Austrian/Czech Border

We drove through Slovenia, Austria and into the Czech Republic on our first day, Saturday, which meant few trucks and no rush hour traffic in Vienna. They recently completed a ring road around Vienna so we didn't have to drive through the center, which is a major pain, but we missed the ring on the return trip somehow and had to drive the motorway through the city but it was a Sunday so not so much traffic.
