4 COUNTRIES IN 1 DAY

Yet another early start, quick van pack, trailer pickup from the Augsburg slalom site, then off to Munich airport to collect Theo Pepper who joined the Under 23 team.  Unfortunately Theo was not allowed to bring his boat from NZ because of a new Thai airlines procedures which ... just so happened to change between the few days he bought his ticket and the 1st of July.  Then on to the German autobahn system! We drove around Munich then headed east along the foothills of the mountains forming the Germany/Austrian border, past Salzburg and pretty countrysides towards Vienna.  A beautiful day, good music (if you like teen pop), fast roads, lots of rest, heading to Poland via Czech Republic.  European drivers are great on the motorways, all working together enabling traffic to move quickly and we only saw one cop and two McDonald's in 10 hours of driving  thru 4 countries. We arrived in Krakow at 8 pm and met up with the rest of the team.
