Travel / Driving to Poland from England - any tips? [264]

Oh yeah, I know I can't drive right to Chernobyl, but I can get close'ish and then get a day tour there.

Come on, look at this in Romania :) Damn, can't post links, but search for Transfagarasan on Wikipedia :)

Travel / Driving to Poland from England - any tips? [264]

Just found this thread and thought I'd add my questions to it. In Aug/Sep I plan on doing a two week roadtrip by myself to Eastern Europe. Places like Ukraine (Poss Chernobyl), down to Romainia to find that road in the Top Gear episode, Auschwitz perhaps and a few other things and whatever comes inbetween. (I've done Stelvio/Southern France etc a few times already so don't fancy doing that)

It's been done on a budget, so will be looking towards the cheaper end of the scale in terms of hotels and perhaps some camping thown in for good measure.

However here's the interesting part, I quite fancy doing it in my Lotus Elise. I love driving, have driven through Poland and Lithuania a couple of years ago (In December time and it was not fun!) But I didn't find the roads too bad. Sure, they're not german autobahns by any standards, but still. This time is 2.5 years on and in summer.

Now, off to read what else there is to do and see in Poland. I'm not particulary taken by cities, so will find other things to do.
