How I spent my last vacation in Austria (part II)/
Part II.
We woke up the next morning and we continued our journey. Poland is nice and not densely populated. It is a quiet country with a lot of farms, lovely small towns and tree galleries along the road. There were some road jams, but we were in a good mood and nothing could stop us. Polish people are also frank and jolly, and their language has some common words with Russian so when you make order in a café or buy something in a shop, you can understand the main idea (gist) of sentence without translation.
After our stay in Poland, we flew over the Czech Republic. Since we did not make a stop here, I do not have much to say about the country except that the landscape got hillier and rockier. Next, we entered in Austria near Vienna and made our way to the south, in the Alps.
In my mind, Austria at summertime has the most beautiful nature in Europe. Majestic mountains, swift brooks, cows on the meadows – all this you can find there. Beside this there is a lovely serpentine roa so if you have good driving skills and a powerful car you can get a lot of pleasure tackling the corners, going fast uphills, speeding down and the like. The only downside is that too often the smell of cow dung breaks the crystal freshness of the air, but maybe I am too fastidious for my own good.
Finally, I’d like to give you a little advice if you travel in Austria some days. To drive on the roads in Austria cost money and you should buy a special sticker for your windshield, it does not cost not very expensive much. However, if the police catch you driving without it, the fine will be about 100 euros or more.
