Today we entered our 18th European country,(19th if you count the Vatican, we are debating the technicality since François the motorhome did not enter the Vatican). The distance today was 290 kilometers, so I expected it to be less than 4 hours. We have been traveling almost completely on freeways this trip so I expected the trip to be a little over three hours. For the first 150 kilometers we were cruising along on nice empty freeways. It was stress free and I could drink my coffee while François moved along on cruise control. But then I noticed that the next turn on Greta the Garmin was a left turn, and you obviously don’t do that from a freeway.
It turns out that the new stretch of freeway in Northern Czechia, and Southern Poland is not complete. So we had about 120 kilometers of 2 lane roads thru the Sudetes Mountains on the Czech/Poland border. The drive was pretty but instead of averaging 90 kph, our average speed with villages and mountain roads was around 60 kph.
It is also very cold. The low overnight in Prague was 31 degrees, and the high today in Wroclaw was 40 degrees. So when we arrived at our campground in Wroclaw, and joined the only other camper a nice couple from Finland, we decided today was a laundry day. Tomorrow we will bundle up and head into town to check out Wroclaw.
