.after a few days in Prague came a time for the final part of journey home (669km, Prague - Kosice with short intermission in Kezmarok). The time of departure was set to midday. Weather was not very pleasing but this is the thing we cannot influence... So far the car was not showing any new mechanical problems. But this was to change ;). We (me and Igor) were leaving the city in a small drizzle, temperatures slightly above zero, yet happy for being every minute closer and closer to our homes...
First problems (luckily also the only ones) appeared only after few kilometers on a highway. Eventhough the anti-freeze tank is full, the liquid was not sprayed on the windscreen (something has probably blocked the hose :( ), thus lowering the quality of work of wipers... Roads were dirty and wet and so wipers were used a lot. With this handicap I had to stop few times just to wipe the windscreen clean (it's even more distracting in the night with all the light from the cars driving in opposite direction). This made whole journey a lot more entertaining, we were luckily not involved in any accidents (while this was a really bad day on Slovak roads, 7 deaths, we passed along the worst accident, it wasn't a nice look :(... ).
This time I tried the north way across Slovakia (because of the needed stop in Kezmarok, Igor's destination). I have to say, it's much worse than south way. Lots of roadworks, traffic, etc. Last part was quite enjoyable (Poprad - Kosice, 115km), but that's mainly because I knew it and Kosice were really near ;). So finally I'm home!
I have to admit that this road trip had also it's beauties. There was an inversion in border region and frozen mist created amazing pictures in the landscape (this is the reason for the photo ;) )...
