All the traffic was heading south, giving us a pleasant clear run towards Gdansk. We don&#8217;t actually plan to go to Gdansk on this trip, but it&#8217;s been sign-posted from the Slovak border; weirdly it seems to be signed from everywhere, even from over 700km away. Once the dual carriageway ended, the fun and games began with overtake-at-all-costs manoeuvres being pulled off by the insane few. Nothing like yesterday, where being overtaken with a few inches to spare, on a single carriageway road with oncoming traffic, by a breakdown truck loaded with a car had to be the high\/low point.
