Some of you have heard that I recently went on an unexpected trip to Germany. This was very unexpected because 24 hours before diving away I didn't know I was going to Germany. On the morning of 23 August when I was still asleep, I got a call from my workmate. Hey, dude let's go to Germany, we are driving away tomorrow morning, to Munich. I was like dude what fuck ?? Yeah yeah, no problem, all the expenses will be paid, you don't have to pay shit. Then I was like eeeh oke, wait a minute, I'll call you back in a sec. After a half an hour I called back and said that I'm in but on one condition. We will go to the German Alps because we are so close to there anyway. He agreed!!
Basically why they needed me was there was one more driver needed. We had to cover 2100kilometers. Not so much? It isn't much but we had to cover it in one day. 23hours to the only drive, that's not so easy but since everything I wanted to do and eat was going to be paid, I didn't care. So the next day together with one other guy at 10 AM we hit the road.
The reason why we had to drive there was that we had to carry 15k EUR worth of art to a gallery in Munich with a Mercedes van.
Of course, I brought my camera with me to take shots along the way and in Germany. These first 2 photos are captured when we had driven 600 kilometers in at the time we were in Lithuania.
After that the sun set and we crossed the border to Poland. We had to drive 800 kilometers to reach to Germany border. Not sure how long we drove that but be arrived at Poland at the sunset and crossed Germany border at the sunrise.
By that time we were pretty wasted and we still had 500 km to cover to reach to the south. Pretty soon I threw my co-driver behind the steering wheel so I could start taking photos of the landscapes in Germany.
This was really interesting for me because I had never been to Germany before.
Oh if there only was Autobahn roads in Estonia as well. As I understand there is a speed limit but at the same time, there isn't. Usually, there are 3 lanes, one for slow grandmas, middle one to overtake grandmas and the left one for people who push the pedal to the floor. We usually used the middle lane and average speed was about 160 km/h because our Mercedes started to vibrate badly when we pushed speed higher. That's not rare when cars overtake you driving 250km/h there.
To me, Germany looked so yellow. Probably because Europe was suffering in a kind of severe drought this summer and all the fields are in need of water. Still, these hilly landscapes were absolutely beautiful and I got some nice photos even when captured from a car while driving.
And 9 AM at the local time there we were. We were really tired and needed to sleep fast, thankfully we soon went to sleep. Next 2 posts will be the pictures and stories from Munich and then I will move to the Alps, stay tuned!
