Made it to Lomza!

The taxi picked us up at 9:30 from the hotel and took us to the airport to pick up the rental car.  I had booked a car for around $250 cdn.  The insurance cost was on top of that and it was more then the rental.  I probably didn't have to buy so much, but since I can't speak a word of Polish I thought I better be safe than sorry.  

We left Poznan about 10:45 and arrived in Lomza at about 6:00.  The drive should have taken us about 5 hours, but we managed to drive through every small town from Poznan to Lomza.  It was probably a good thing we left the freeway.  We hit three toll stops.  It cost us 47zloty ($15cdn) and we didn't travel very far from Poznan.  

Well this is a picture from Pultusk, Poland.  It is north of Warsaw.  We decided that it would be fast if we bypassed Warsaw and went north straight to Lomza.  We stopped only briefly to take some pictures.  

By the time we got to Lomza I was ready to just find the hotel and relax.  Needless to say I was a little grouchy.  We stopped and put gas in the car and bought a map.  Fortunately the hotel was not far away.  

We got to the room and I am pretty sure that even canned sardines are allowed more room.  It certainly makes our last room seem spacious and roomy.  

We haven't decided how long we will be staying here.  We talked about staying until Friday and then driving down to Krakow, but we have not decided for sure.  It will all depend on what we see here in Lomza and what we find in Kolno.
