Hi everyone,
Today, the aventure really started!
I drove through three countries today, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary. It all went down hill (literally) when I decided to take a detour in Czech Republic to avoid traffic. I thought, well, going through some cute villages might not be a bad idea. I will leave the highway, see some stuff and go on the highway again. Boy, was I wrong. Ofcourse the detour excisted of a 17% steep hill, you should have heard me curse when I saw the sign. Besides that, I was not the only one whos Google Maps thought it was a good idea for a detour, so I was followed by 2 trucks and 5 other cars. Damn.
Well, there we go. I forgot everything I read on the internet about driving in the mountains. I went way too fast because I was panicking becasue of the other drivers, had to dodge a big car from the oncoming traffic and of course my brakes started to smell funny. Great. Lucky me survived and treated myself to some KFC lunch.
When I entered Slovakia, I was relieved. No more deadly detours and the country seems flatter than Czech Republic. Jeeh! Nothing more to report on this untill..
Welcome to Hungary! Where the speed limits are made up and border control doesn’t matter. I think I already broke several laws here, which is a great start. Since there are no speed limit signs, I think I might have a ticket. Also, I accidentally drove on the wrong side of the road, let’s just say my fear of trucks is not getting better.
After all of the above, I finally started camping! Too bad it is in the dark but I am so glad it is not raining. Lets hope it stays that way. Something something, the ground is too cold and don’t trip on the lines. Got some flashbacks to when I was younger, camping was way different then. Warmer…
Almost forgot to tell you guys. Harry and I parted ways. I dont know why he left me or why he didnt say goodbye but I haven’t seen him since this morning.
Random thought: Why do Hungarians have really loud dogs? Please be quiet. People trying to blog here, thank you.
