All of these begin with an “E” similar to the “I” for Interstate in the US. Our route today switched between 2 lane local roads and the highway for a bit until the last 240km was on highway.

But then when you look at pictures, and see some of the remnants from WW2, you realize the Poles started all over again in 1946. Warsaw was leveled between the Nazi and Russian armies taking the city. The remnants of the Jewish Ghetto wall are pockmarked with bullet and bomb holes.
