Wow, that's quite a journey. I wonder which route he'll be taking.

Good luck. You're going to need it.

Good luck! Don't get in a car with anyone with bloodstains on them or who is wearing a ski mask

I'm back.

After 71 hours on the road, and using 21 cars, we reached Siofok in Hungary, then turned back home...

We were in Siofolk by Tueasday 11am. We had a guy who said he could drop us to the Croatian border but he was leaving at 10pm at night. And the closing ceremony in Split was to take place on Wednesday 9am. Meaning we would have some 9 hours to reach Split from the Croatian border. Not likely. We had to call it quits and so hitchhiked a car back to Budapest from where we reached home by train.
From the Croatian border to Split it is one uninterrupted highway, so we would have made it there by Wednesday afternoon or evening. But since the closing ceremony was by 9 am, there was no point in continuing.

Compared to my previous participations in the tournament...

3 years ago from Gdansk to Lviv (630km) - made it in 24 hours using 6 cars
2 years ago from Gdansk to Bratislava (700km)- made it in 29 hours using 9 cars

... This year from Gdansk to Split (1300km) - made it only up to Siofolk in 71 hours using 21 cars. Not too good :(

I'm really sad we couldn't make it [img]graemlins/verysad.gif[/img] And at times everything looked so promising...

Apparently the winners made it in 23 and a half hours ( [img]graemlins/wow.gif[/img] lucky bastards must've caught a car straight from Poland to Croatia) and out of 154 teams only aroung 50 made it to Split by Monday evening.

If anyone is interested I might post some more details of how my journey went.

Did you meet any weirdos? Swingers? Murderers? Hippies? Do tell.

9 hours to reach Split? Sorry, but you could have made it. With a bit of luck, true, but you'd get to... party, and stuff! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

9 *night* hours. from 12 midnight to 9 am. No chance of making it.

Had it been like from 10am to 7 pm, then it's a different matter.
