Staying: Camping Sanssouci-Berlin – Potsdam, Germany
Distance Travelled: 372.4 Miles
Song of the day: The Journey – Fat Boy Slim
We had a long day of driving ahead of us, but we were tired from our drive to Cesky Krumlov, so slept a little later than we meant to. Filled with optimism, we left the camp only to be pulled over after less than 2 miles by a Czech policeman. The gent was doing random checks on vehicles, and apparently was ensuring that we weren’t driving a stolen vehicle. This was no problem, except the ownership papers were not readily to hand. I spent a few amusing moments pulling the van apart to find the necessary papers. Unfortunately I couldn’t figure out where I’d put my International Drivers Licence, and eventually he gave up and told us we could drive on, his mind seemingly at rest.
Apart from the normal traffic jams (road works), and seeing the aftermath of a rather nasty accident, we had an uneventful driving day. I’d like to mention Czech drivers however, who seem to have no sense of moderation – they all seemed to be driving at 30 or passing on blind corners. Nevertheless, we managed to get to the campsite without any problems, which had a restaurant on the edge of a lovely lake, and where we enjoyed a cold beer at the end of our longest driving day yet.
