Our overnight spot might have been relatively empty yesterday afternoon, but this morning it was a hive of activity. Trucks pulling in and out and families stopping to snack. We got an early start hoping to make it all the way to Warsaw.
Much of the morning we traveled on new motorway, some of it so new that even our new SatNav did not know about it. But eventually the new motorway gave way to a more expected two lane road (called the S8) in poorish condition and we bumped along towards Warsaw. The remainder of the day's journey was a mix of good and bad 2 lane roadway and sections of motorway.
Mid afternoon we entered the outskirts of Warsaw and followed our SatNav through some tricky manouvers making our way to a campground called CampingWok (www.campingwok.warszawa.pl) which according to our guidebooks was south of the city center. So when we finally pulled into a very narrow street and saw a sign for CampingWok we were feeling pretty pleased with ourselves. That did not last long as the young women behind the counter told us they had a group coming and ... no room for us.
At about the time we departed CampingWok a torrential rain storm started dumping water on Warsaw so we spent the next hour or so trying to extracate ourselves from the city. As if the heavy rain was not enough we ran into a number of streets closed for roadwork, the result of which was that we eventually gave up and simply parked in a side street for the night.
