Wednesday August 18th

Well we have finally caught up with the blog after a few nights where wireless was virtually impossible. We have also had a few problems ith the German and Polish script. I think some of these European languages are drastically short of vowels. Perhaps they could do an exchange with some of the {acific Isalnd nations as they appear to have a distinct over suppy of voiwels.

A long day’s drive to Warsaw. It de3sn’t look all that far, but the autobahns of Germany only go to the Polish boarder. The roads from the boarder does nit allow any great speed. The Poles are trying to be incluyde3d in the European Community and to so this they have to have a highway system between the major cities and the boarders. They are in the process of doing this and there are many construction projects under way. Being a cold winter country, all construction has to be done in the Summer time - Now.

We were on the road early (7.30am) and with a few “comfort stops and an hour and a half for lunch we are still an hour out of Warsaw. It is 5.40pm.
Lunch time saw us at Poznam and very old polish town. A typical European town, built around the town square with cobble stones on all the town streets.
We managed to find a Belgian Burger joint, and we had an “Americanski Burger”. Unfortunately the meat started out frozen and was then deep fried. At least the bun, which also started out frozen, wasn’t deep fried. The taste remains. The chips were quite good and the pastry we shared after that was really6 good – not too sweet.

We finally arrived at our hotel in Warsaw at about 6.30pm. We had a prepaid meal at 8pm and it's time for bed.
