PRESENTATION:

After we pulled out all the warmest clothes from the closets, bought car chains, borrowed three-quarters of a meter of books from the library, grabbed two more warm blankets in the heat of the battle, and said goodbye to our dog Rea (no, this trip would be too cold for her), we started a new adventure on a cold, gray morning. Snowflakes danced lightly in the air when the navigation showed 2,868 km and 34 hours of direct driving. On the first day, we drove through Slovenia, Austria, and the Czech Republic, and in the evening, we stopped near Warsaw. No, we weren't bored and the trip didn't drag on at all. We had fun learning the longest Finnish word, which has 48 letters and took us 8 seconds to pronounce. No, we didn't memorize it, Finno-Ugric languages are extremely difficult to learn! In between, good music, stops in the places we passed, reading fairy tales and literature about the places our path takes us, and just like that... we killed the first 1,000 kilometers." ...
