How I spent my last vacation in Austria

Hello, my name is Pavel and it is my first try at writing here. So don't be too cruel about my mistakes.
Part I.
Today I would like to tell you about one of the greatest vacations I have ever had in my life.
In the beginning of June I wrote a vacation request to my current work and began choosing where I would go. As a result I and my friends selected one Austrian bike park where we could have exciting rides in the mornings and nice rests in the evenings.
It was settled that two of us would fly by plane, and I and another chum would drive to the destination point by car. So we packed our bikes and stuff, I did some technical maintenance for my car, and we started our trip.
According to our plan, the whole way would take about two days. Our first goal was a (broad?) between Belorussia and Poland. We got there from Moscow without any problems in nearly eight hours. The road had a lack of other cars and was in very good condition, so (it let us drive really fast/we could drive really fast). We stopped rarely, enough just to fill the fuel tank and quickly have a meal at the gas stations, and by midnight we were on the border near Brest city.
First what frightened us a lot was a huge, enormous, slowly moving queue of cars which were trying to pass the border. Some (muddy? Dirty? seedy?) guy offered us a deal – for one hundred euros he could lead us through a short way, but it was illegal and we strictly declined his offer. In four or five hours we passed the border and began to find a place for rest. One standing alone hotel was a good choice for us.
Over 5 minutes, tired, but happy we slept like the dead.

You did a great job at writing this! Very few mistakes. I'm glad you had such a good time :)
