A second sign in the heavens
A view from my daily Oława to Skarbimeirz Commute
Leaving Oława and heading for home - 1600km to go
Carnage on the Polish roads (as usual) - 20km queue
Lower Silesia
On the Breslau - Berlin Autbahn (leaving Poland the carriageway has been upgraded - coming back it is 100km of concrete blocks floating on drained bogland - after so many years these are no long level and it goes "bump-bump-bump-BUMP-bump" for about an hour). On the (unlimited) German section my little Volvo maxed out at 205km/hr but at more sensible speeds I was getting 60mpg.
Hotel Am Seegraben on the "Cottbus City Limits"
Brandenburg
Heading for Hamburg - the whole of the north German autobahn network seemed to be in the process of being upgraded - construction excellently signed and marked but slow progress at 50km/hr for half of the way home
The VAN DER VALK Hotel Hamburg-Wittenburg - located next to a massive indoor ski centre. The hotel is certainly NOT the destination and it shows - but clean, efficient and good price.
Heading west at last - after a very wet radio-orienteering.
Someone spat in my Westphalian Potato Soup! (not really but it looks like it - the froth is a sort of 'garnish')
German "black" beer - a sort of porter
Healthy eats
The Parkhotel Schloss Hohenfeld in Munster - with the BierStube on left
One of my many road-works detours off the autobahn - Dingbangerweg!
Somewhere in the Netherlands - it looks like a tornado had touched down and flattened the forest
All roads seem to go through Antwerp - and then the Kennedy Tunnel - certainly a fixture on my continental road trips. Antwerp seems to be dominated by a) heavy traffic and b) lines of parked cars
Welcome to France
Nearly home
Quick - even the French have their own burger chain now - but why does the little "burger-boy" make me feel so sad? There is something pathetic about this character but I am not sure what.
