In the morning, we visited World Heritage site we visited in one day. We took a long bus ride from Krakow to Budapest, Hungary . We drove through Slovakia , the eastern country of what was once Czechoslovakia, and passed through two border-control points. I got out of the bus at the Poland-Slovakia border to take photos, which did not meet with the approval of the border guards. They warned me and I scurried back on the bus.
Trucks wait at the border for in-depth inspection of their contents.
The line of trucks extends for about a mile in each direction from the border and trucks may wait for over a day to cross the border. We arrive at our hotel in cosmopolitan Budapest.
