We awoke to pouring rain again, which had almost stopped by the time we set off, although this was just a tease as it was soon to return. Romania seemed quite, with no lorries on the road and obviously the suicide contingent had the weekend off. Leaving Romania, it was a welcome relief to be back on Hungarian roads, what a difference a couple of days can make! The journey was flat and tedious, until we reached the Slovakian border and picked up the D67 at Roznava. This was a good mountain road which would've been really enjoyable another day and time. The rain and dragging journey lessening the enjoyment. At least in Slovakia they have the Euro, so we could have bought one of the 12% beers avilabe in the petrol station. We finally got into Poland, again on mountain roads which would have been really good fun under other circumstances, the roads were generally better but the traffic heavy, the fastest vehicle was saw all day today was a coach, which was making amazing progress, carving up traffic at speed well over the legal limit, if there were passengers on board, there would've been plenty of screaming! The weather dried up and there were good roads the rest of the way to Oswiecim, although we didn't arrive until well gone 8 o'clock, another 10 hour day. The hotel was superficially very plush but we didn't have time to explore the spar and wellness facility. We were in bed by 11, having only managed 2 big beers with Polish menu dinner.
