On the Road - Hungary

Chapter 30 - On the Road - From Austria to  Hungary



Dear Diary...

I know you are waiting for one more of my adventures , wont yhaa ??
If not ... I have a couple of adventures anyway

If you like my adventures
if you dont like my adventures

off we go:

After I stopped in Austria for a couple of days, (Mums family) they drove me down to the other part of Austria Vienna

I REALLY DIDN'T LIKE THE PLACE !!!

First, from the place where I was to Vienna took me 2 hours, after I arrived in Vienna I was jumping everywhere... O MY GOD !
The roads in Vienna are disgraceful, they have this train rails crossing the roads  PLUS is holes everywhere in the road... (No am not posh, Am English !!)

I really didnt like and I had a tantrum :/ Yes, I started to make a very loud noise that everyone in the street was looking at me.
Now, you ask me... why ?
and I answer,

I hate that roads and I was screaming loud as i could.
You want to know how I sound ??
Is a sound like... metal scratching metal.

OK, lets be serious about this, mum and Dad jump out of me and they look everywhere, the sound was coming out of one of my rear wheel but they looked everywhere and everything looked ok.
Dad suspected that it was the disc break from the wheel but later he found that the noise was made by the wheel cover which moved out of the place with so much holes in the road.

of course this make the wheel cover move out of place , which push forward the Renault symbol in the center wheel to scratch the metal part of the wheel and make a very loud and annoying noise ..
.
Thats me ! Dont like ? ask for the complains book !!

After Dad stopped and had a good look on my wheel, we notice this issue and hammer it in..
 That night we visited some Friends in Vienna, next morning they drove around 100 miles and we will reach HUNGARY :) 

MORE ADVENTURES !? yes, here is another adventure happening in Vienna...
The parking system in Vienna is very strange (you have to buy -tickets and go to the parking space to change the ticket hour by hour.
This was not the trouble, the trouble was when Dad try to go into a closed car park wish was recommended for cars not bigger than 2.05m high...
We did past the first barrier as I am only 2.00m high but when we get down the ramp to go into the parking spaces , the ramp roof did get smaller and touch my roof :
RESULT ... I had to reverse inside of the car park and come out true the other door (out door)  COMPLAINS BOOK PLEASE..
This people do not comply with the rules show in the first warnings !
In the top metal bar on the car park , it say 2.05m but once you go down the will into the car park, the space gets small between the roof and the floor and come down to 2.00m !!

Off course, I couldn't make a U turn in the meddle of the ramp and I have to get back to the (out door) in reverse mode.
Dad is a brilliant driver but this guys in Austria have to go to the school to learn measurements ! AAARRRGGG... I Really didn't like this piece of the planet call Austria !!
Wheel its fine for now but tomorrow and until we are stopping at Mums family, dad will take the wheel  off and have a close look.
Mean time...

I AM IN HUNGARY :)

If you want more chapters of Freeka wait till tomorrow ;)

On the road - Austria

Chapter 29 - On the road - From UK to Austria




Dear Diary....

This is the first of many adventures to come...
Uhau !!

From UK to Austria the driving has been amazing.
Mum and Dad are sooo proud of me...
Lets start :
They start to drive me Thursday around 22.00pm from Swindon to Dover to pick the ferry.
This travel down took me 5 hours, we arrived and get straight into the que for the ferry that was to go out at 06.00am. Mum and dad tied to sleep for a bit but non of them could have a sleep as they were excited , plus everyone around was very noisy.
06.00oclock come and we got onto the ferry. Dad was tired from the drive and wanted to sleep a bit so he can keep driving during the day, so he lay down in the floor of the ferry but no luck ... They couldn't sleep with so much movement around plus was no sofas available and floor is uncomfortable :(

We arrived in Durkenque in France at 9am but only got on the road around 10am as Mum and Dad have to drink their strong coffee and get the beam light converter.on my eye bulbs.

Now I am legal and ready to drive in the foreigner country's.

Was quick to cross  France and that took us less than hour.
Soon we got into Belgium where we driven for few hours.
Anyway, I have a small adventure to tell you which happened while we were driving in Belgium....

Mum and Dad was very tired as they didn't have much sleep last night but they managed to drive 272km in Uk plus 435 km in France/Belgium  on the first day. I know is not much but they have stopped many times in this first journey , plus they ended up having a nap (small sleep) around 15.00pm that afternoon in Belgium because Dad was no longer feeling very  safe to drive.
NOTE TO REGISTER...
DO NOTE LEAVE YOUR GIRLFRIEND ALONE  IN A CAMPER VAN OR CAR  WHILE YOU ARE STOP IN A PETROL STATION OR CAR PARK IN BELGIUM !!
After Mum and Dad have a nap (small sleep) in this car park, dad left the camper to go to the toilet, and while Dad was going for a pee, Mum was approached by a old man , asking... "how much ?" Mum ask .. "How much what ?" and the man answer "How much what !" with a strange cheesy smile...
Mum started to swear at the man, who started to run straight to his car and left the car park before Dad got back .So from there on if dad left mum alone for few minutes, mum stayed in the car and locked the doors until dad got back.Hmmm, you know its funny now but mum was a bit scared then..
That was a story !!.

They only have been sleeping and I can testify that !!
Dad wonder... is this normal ?

I did feel very offended with this human behave !! Who knows if the guy was only ask Mum if she want to sell me !!??

I AM NOT FOR SELL !! Anyway !

Ok, after all this sing and dance, Mum and dad have drive till around 9.00pm that night and they stop in a petrol station to spend the nigh there, buy then we were around Boon in Germany. .

Next day, they woke up very early (8.30) they just drunk a coffee and got back on the road.
