Crossing the German Czech Border

Travelling over the rolling hills and valleys, we seem to be climbing all the way. There’s lots of pine forests where the logs are harvested.
As we approach the Czech border, there are no barriers, just a sign on the freeway. We stop at the first services past the border. It is super-crowded with huge trucks that are parked up because it is Sunday. It is illegal for trucks to travel on Sunday, so even if they are mid-journey, they must stop.
