Adventure Time!: Day Fourty-Five: Shots shots, shots shots shots, shots shots

This morning most of our camper friends had gone by the time we woke up which was surprising since it was only 9am and we didn't hear them leave. People were already starting to arrive to go to the lake though, it must be a super popular spot! We did our cleaning chores and had breakfast there, some of the bread from the bread vending machine, and read for awhile before we packed up. A lady went past on rollerblades and a dog ran out from somewhere to chase her but then the dog got in trouble. There are so many dogs around every camp! A lady brought one over to visit Quentin last night but we didn't know what she was saying because she was speaking German. The dog liked Quentin.

Around lunchtime we left the camp to drive to our next stop. We have been on the motorway so far this morning which is interesting, everyone goes so fast, Quentin said some people were going about 160km! Not us though. We have been looking at everyones number plates because they all have a letter on to say where they are from. They are mostly German but we have seen Austria, Switzerland, The Netherlands, Poland, Denmark, Slovakia and maybe some others, I think everyone is on holiday! There are also some exciting cars like lambourghinis and stuff which are interesting to look at. Not as much interesting stuff to drive through though so hopefully we won't be on the motorway the whole way through Germany!

We stopped for lunch at a picnic area on the motorway, I had a salad with sundried tomatos and gouda, yum! Quentin had some vege burgers, we found a bunch of vege stuff here so thought we should try some. The burgers were pretty good too. There was a major amount of traffic on the road we were on, going both ways! We didn't know if it had been a long weekend or the end of a holiday ot if it was just always this busy. We decided to stay at a motorway aire tonight to avoid the hassle of finding somewhere else and because we had seen quite a few on the way so we just stopped at the next one we saw.

It had a shop and a restaurant which serves different things at different times of day, but a lot of fish. They had an outdoor area to sit as well but it was way hot! We got Quentin a big beer and I got some apple juice to mix with this berry vodka I had and we went and sat in the shade of our van and had some drinks. After a while we decided to try wine with the berry vodka (which was really like a berry smoothie with vodka in although you couldn't taste it, man it was good!) and that was also pretty good! We were a bit tipsy then and being entertained by some truckers who were arm wrestling across from us. One guy was winning all the matches. Then the next thing you know they came over and asked Quentin if he wanted a match!

We went over of course and it turned out they were all truck drivers from Poland and after Quentin got quickly beaten they got out the vodka and we all started having shots of it! I never thought I could do vodka shots but it wasn't actually too bad, we didn't even have chasers! So extreme. We ended up hanging out with them all night even though they mostly didn't speak english (two guys spoke a bit) and it was really funny. A nice old man truck driver from Turkey came over and gave us some salad to share which had potato, egg, onion, tomato and jalapenos in it. The salad was delicious but they tricked me into eating some of the jalapenos (it was dark by this point) and they were really spicy!

I found out that they call jalapenos paprika, and onions are tabbouli in Polish, weird right! They were teaching me some other words but they might be swear words so I won't put them in! After a long night Quentin went missing and we all had to go and search for him, we found him sleeping on the grass and two truck drivers had to carry him to bed! Too much vodka haha. The polish guys were convinced that Polish vodka, beer, food and country "is the best" so we had to promise we would go there on our next trip. They were so friendly as well, telling us to come and stay with them and their wives would cook us food, Polish people are super nice if they are anything to go by! "The best"
