My Newborn Has Phlegm Why

Logbook - Day 4



Day 4: July 22. Camping 50km from the Polish (PL) - Camp 10 km from the Lithuanian border (LT) - 900km - two-way paved road.


We woke up at 8.30 am in the camp in Poland. Shower with warm water and premiering breakfast milk powder. We left the camping

paying a family that was in the reception, they charged us 12 €. They had a son studying archeology in Barcelona, and did not believe story a lot. July started driving towards Wroclaw, Poland first large city.

Poland and Spain, full of Carrefour, Auchan and others, and found a Norauto where we stopped to find additive Slick50 engines (the engine sounded Clak Clak-type tappets) and no. To test the credit card bought a Kit-Kat with peanut butter (yum!), We gobbled up the time. Wroclaw

crossed the center, there was no other option, very popular in Poland. Cumin us a good jam and one of the many traffic lights a lynx with a Mercedes Vito hit us on the corner of the bumper when turning at the crossing. Nothing happened, but what a fabric with the Poles. We

to Warsaw, where there was almost no traffic, except its trams. It is a totally modern city and worth visiting, it is pointed in the list.

Since then dual carriageway to the border. The surface was deformed by the weight of trucks, with some ruts that had the car where they wanted. In addition we made some stops on top of suspension and there came forward as in Morocco: stampede. Never mind the stripes, or visibility, or speed. The next is withdrawn, which is advanced and everyone is happy apart. We saw an overtaking even triple, truck a van and car to truck, was an entertaining afternoon. We

at night, and with a little more calm, and the border did not come. It was a little late and end the cross without a problem, with typical semi-abandoned border crossing, about 12 o'clock at night. We were in Lithuania.

decided to find a field to sleep for a few miles later. There we had another scare as they heard a rustle complicated by the right front wheel, which we thought was the anchor of the suspension. We went back and saw that it was the floor of the passenger, who had a slit that opened when I worked the suspension, nothing serious!

stopped, shop and sleep. The 00.30h, good job.

Logbook - Day 3





Day 3: July 21. Castillo Klatovy (CZ) - Camping 50km from the Polish (PL) - 500km - two-way paved road.


We got up at 8 with the sun on your face. We could see the whole meadow full of rally cars, some had already left. There was also a good number of those who participated in the Africa Rally, from London to Cameroon (have egg ...).



picked the store and got into the castle with the cars to take some pictures, and the camp again to compare the sound of our Suzuki with of Murcia. His sounded like a Ferrari and our coffee, but reassured us by saying that these engines hold their milk and never break ... touch wood.


We said goodbye to everyone and that from here we were still alone, waiting to see them coming out of Kazakhstan, more or less, since each had a different route. And breakfast at a Lidl, juice and cookies. After we said goodbye to Sonia and Manche, Goodbye!


continue in direction Prague with the intention of meeting with Ramon (Victor's father), Paco and José Antonio, who were on vacation for those dollars. We ate with these beasts the typical Czech dishes and we a shower in your hostel (you never know when it would do so). After a few pictures on the Piazza S. Wenceslao and heading north, it was time to make a few kms. after so relax, and Suzuki we are unaccustomed.

few miles of highway and see you friends, since two-way road here, and give thanks guys ... We crossed the Polish border unnoticed and headed Worklaw, the next waypoint.

finally decided to stop at a camp to rest and get up early the next day, and at that moment we realized that the local currency was not the Euro ... beginners often fail ... In the end I managed to grandpa that We responded by agreeing (in language, "Indian") payment in Euros, mission accomplished.

almost alone up the tent and prepare spaghetti "tuned" with a can that we had out there, all with accompanying chorizo \u200b\u200b/ back (a day and given the state still do not really know what the hell it was that we zampábamos ...). And the 22.30ha sleep, tomorrow is another day.

Logbook - Begin travel journal! Album



Days 1 and 2: July 19-20. Madrid-Castillo of Klatovy (CZ)-2300km - Highway

Day Out!

We get up at 7 am and do the last preparations: the backpacks in the car and the compass to your site. We pick up in July at 9:10 a.m. at home. It comes with a pound of sausage surprise courtesy of a sponsor ... Well!

Organization had called us at the Santiago Bernabeu at 10:00 am. There we were and put the Suzuki in a good position for the start, hehe. Photos, stickers, interviews, hugs, kisses and the moment of truth: in single file to the output stage

... ... and stops. In the few 50m separating the park closed the exit ramp Suzuki for us!

Smiling at the camera and accelerating as if possessed, because if SolTab the engine throttle stop, we climbed the stage and waving goodbye to all the window. We started!

And we started to go home to check the carburetor and pick up the reserve. We cleaned the carburetor with a special spray appeared to be repaired. There we said goodbye to Aran with the promise to pick just 6 days later in Moscow ... touch wood gentlemen!

and took off towards the A-2. First shock passed ...

Towards Junquera Matlim agree with the teams, Princesses Nomads, the ambulance levantapegatinas, William and his Samurai, Team Tim (with the dripping water pump), Don Quixote and Dulcinea (donations!) And with Órdago Chica, with you at the border to Prague decided to throw the party of the Organization. Adelante!

crossed the border around midnight and devoured mercilessly France and Germany (100 km / h!, wow, although the 127, flying Órdago a Girl!) Stopping only to refuel and change drivers. In Germany we went "light speed" the two Suzukis Murcia to want to share a few kms before losing sight (flying!)

decided to cross to the R. Czech step a bit further south than the main road to a better idea of \u200b\u200bthe castle where the feast was celebrated. We had the odd problem to find border and in the turns we were up with many "españolitos" who swarmed there: Deathproof Saxo, the Espinosa Racing Team and another that escapes us. Finally we

Klatovy Castle, near Klenova, at about 22:30 on Sunday 20 July. Some pull 2300kms by excellent roads and the first test passed. Has not been broken!
