@Alko1000
Cannot meet colleagues in Marbella, without the traditional Vana Tallinn with me…
Fuel top up
3. Mai 2022 in Litauen ⋅ ⛅ 11 °C
Waze advertised diesel price is 1.33€ 😳
Obviously mistaken - correct price was 1.88€ 🤦♂️
Warsaw
3. Mai 2022 in Polen ⋅ ⛅ 11 °C
DAY 1 complete
Goal:
arrive to Warsaw - achieved
Found a roadside “apartment hotel” for a surprising 30€ night. Huge room with kitchenette and bath tubWeiterlesen
Coffee + fuel = Circkle K
4. Mai 2022 in Polen ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C
Travel tip: best coffee is always the one you are used to… ☺️
Filling up is confusing, as BOTH units are uncommon for me - dm3 instead of liters and Zl instead of € 😂
On our way to Vienna!!!
Czech, mate!
4. Mai 2022 in Tschechien ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C
The scenery gets better and better… and as soon as you’re off the highway, well-equipped gas stations are harder and harder to find. Major highway congestion in Poland slowed us down nearly anWeiterlesen
Full bloom
4. Mai 2022 in Tschechien ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C
Just had to stop for a 📷
Forgot the sunscreen…
4. Mai 2022 in Tschechien ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C
A place for the man to have a 😴😀
Viin - Vienna - Wien
4. Mai 2022 in Österreich ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C
Made it finally to Vienna!
The roads were twisty and slow + there was occasionally heavy rain.
The small Czech villages on the way were beautiful!
After 2 days’ diet of nuts and sandwiches in theWeiterlesen
Day 2 complete
4. Mai 2022 in Österreich ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C
As the day draws to an end, we found this nice hotel for stay:

Tomorrow we plan to briefly look around Vienna and then set our sights for Verona!
😴😴😴
Breakfast and coffee
5. Mai 2022 in Österreich ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C
Good morning!
Sleeping score 100! ☺️
As the hotel breakfast was independently reviewed as not worth the price, we shot out to explore the neighborhood. Turned out this hotel Mercure is very wellWeiterlesen
Morning in Vienna
5. Mai 2022 in Österreich ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C
Vienna was too exciting to just drive by, so we spent a few hours walking around the old town…
Highway to Graz
5. Mai 2022 in Österreich ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C
We were struggling with Waze all day. It simply refused to take us via the main road, trying to divert us off the highway all the time and offering ridiculous arrival times. Finally decided to skipWeiterlesen
Verona and Bellagio still out of reach
5. Mai 2022 in Italien ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C
By the time we crossed the border to Italy, it became clear that driving for another 5 hours was going to be too much. So we made corrections and chose something unexpected along the way.
This is IWeiterlesen
To Verona and beyond…
6. Mai 2022 in Italien ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C
We really enjoyed this place! Fantastic hosts, excellent wine from their own yard (Comelli). That was a gem to find.
As a bonus, good fuel prices off the main highways 😉
Half a day in Verona
6. Mai 2022 in Italien ⋅ 🌧 16 °C
Verona, Verona, Veroona…. ☺️
It was dribbling rain all the way and all day, but it was relatively warm.
Enjoyed the walk and the old town, LOTS of people on a FridayWeiterlesen
Change of plans
6. Mai 2022 in Italien ⋅ 🌧 12 °C
One of the benefits of an open ended trip is that you can always remain flexible and adapt to the conditions.
Speaking of weather in Verona and elsewhere, we decided to skip the Garda and Como areasWeiterlesen
Next stop Genova
7. Mai 2022 in Italien ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C
It was really tricky to get down to the ground in Genova, as the main route is on an elevated highway through the city. There was a total catacomb of a parking house, where we could not find a placeWeiterlesen
Menton
7. Mai 2022 in Frankreich ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C
Made it to the shore of the Ligurian Sea!
We tried to plot our route without toll roads, to see more, but at the end of the day available time makes the choices for you - toll roads vs small onesWeiterlesen
Monaco
7. Mai 2022 in Frankreich ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C
Next logical must-see place was Monaco. It is a city-nation most densely populated in the world (over 18,500 residents per sq km).
Driving your car in Monaco is not for the faint of heart, itWeiterlesen
Night in Antibes
7. Mai 2022 in Frankreich ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C
When we left Monaco, it was already late and we yet did not have a place to stay overnight (as we were not sure how far we will drive).
Nothing caught our eye in Nice, so we drove straight throughWeiterlesen
Barcelona
8. Mai 2022 in Spanien ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C
The trip from Antibes to Barcelona took about 7 hours (650km) and tolls were around 21€.
There were traffic jams when approaching Barcelona which delayed the arrival some 15 min.
At first we triedWeiterlesen
Sitges - Hotel Medium Romantic
8. Mai 2022 in Spanien ⋅ 🌙 17 °C
There’s a hotel a short drive (with toll, still) outside of Barcelona with an intriguing name - Hotel Medium Romantic (dunno why “medium”, I’d say it was “very” romantic 😂
It is pureWeiterlesen
A hidden gem
9. Mai 2022 in Spanien ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C
The internet almighty helped find this truly unique stay in a small town we didn’t know existed a few hours ago ☺️
Welcome to Dènia in the province of Alicante, with 41,733 friendlyWeiterlesen
