Today was a driving day back to Poznan. We left the hotel at 9:30 and we expected to be on the main highway and heading to Poznan by 10:00. Wishful thinking. What I thought would be an easy way out ended up being blocked due to construction. I think we drove for about an hour before we finally got our of Krakow. It was insane. You just go in circles in downtown Krakow. Cars parked all over the place, people walking in front of you and then there are trains going down the street you are driving on. I am still not sure how I got out.
Of course once we were out of Krakow the next issue was getting onto the freeway. If we had gotten onto the free way it was pretty smooth sailing all the way to Wroclaw. As you can tell we did not make it onto the freeway. As a result we ended up driving through one very small town after very small town on a road with a speed limit between 50 to 70 kms/hr. I have no pictures of any of this drive. I must admit that I am pretty much seen my limit of rural Poland. It is very pretty, but I have seen enough. At least for this trip.
After about 2 hours of curvy roads and round abouts we did manage to make it to the freeway. The scenery is definitely not as nice, but it is much less stressful. We arrived back at the hotel around 5:30 and I went in to make sure they had a room. I had originally planned to be back for Tuesday night, but we decided to head back to Poznan a day earlier. They had a hotel room, but it is not as nice as the one we had before. Very much the same except we have a crappy TV and only 1 channel. We thought it was bad before because we had quite a few channels, but only 1 English channel. We were complaining about that English channel because it was just news and every broadcast was the same. We now would kill for the one English channel.
We didn't go out at night and I worked on organizing the pictures I have taken and started working on updating the blog.
