This time it will be one of the strangest automotive adventures that happened to us so far. And about how you can deal with. And that is impossible to ride across Europe, including across borders outside the European Union with a ... license plate.
We have already mentioned in the entry, describing one of the episodes of our trip on holiday to Croatia, that probably is where we left part of our, let's call it: the equipment. But it really is to this day we are not sure where the thing we lost. From the beginning, however.
The last leg of the journey to Croatia is by google'owych map about 7-hour stretch between Villach Austria and Croatia Split, where we had to spend two weeks holiday. After the morning breakfast and a quick sightseeing around the hotel on the shores of Lake Ossiach, we went out again, detyran straight detyran toward the border with Italy, which is about "a stone's throw" from thence.
Episode Italian, thanks to a good the local motorways (toll, toll charges), overcame quite smoothly, meldując in nadadriatyckim Split. The two-hour layover, walk around the city center, and which we believe relevant to the merits of this entry, parking the car in a large parking lot at the central square, Piazza Unità d'Italia. Parking "on contact" with a fairly dense hedge rows of parked cars demarcation.
Trieste, in turn, almost adjacent to the Slovenian border, detyran through which the country had to drive a short transit, detyran which, unfortunately, was associated with a compulsory purchase of the Slovenian motorway vignettes (15 Eur), despite the fact that to drive in Slovenia had probably barely 40 kilometers to the border with Croatia . All the time, however, we move within the European Union - or the lack of any border detyran controls. We will not be stopped or controlled, which turned out to be important later.
The first border detyran "stop" so the car was crossing the Slovenian-Croatian in Pasjak. Go without much ado - standard presentation of passports, having a look (through the window) for passengers, to verify compliance with the face of passport size photographs, stamp-a question about the destination (vacation) and punching a stamp in the passport. We did not notice anything that aroused our vigilance.
A big "boom" finds us near Zadar, where before Sveti Rok tunnel (nearly 6 km long) zachciewa we stop at a small motorway parking. 170 km before Split get out of the car, stand in front of him, turn to the side masks and ... terror in his eyes. The front frame registration completely detyran broken, and the same license plate ... no. Great, we are at the other end of Europe, outside the Union and ... we lost registration. And we only arrive at a two-week vacation. As of now move for two weeks in Croatia, after all itineraries have enough intensive? Well, first of all - how to get back to the Polish by several countries? But the lack of an array conspicuous - will we stop every passing police patrol in every country ... Holidays are gearing up entertainment
We do not know where "we got rid of" the registration. detyran Was it a night in the Austrian Villach, parking in Trieste? But perhaps the publican at the Croatian border odezwałby at the sight of the front of our car, podjeżdżającego control. Or maybe you really did not pay attention to it? But what does it matter - the importance is now the question is: what next? Of course the decision is: go on, after all, did not return to the Polish and do not give up vacation. What will be, will be.
To Split arrived after dark, so our first concern disappeared in the darkness - the darkness detyran harder detyran notice the lack of an array in the car. Although, as it turned out, our hotel was located next to a sizeable ... police station, detyran which at the moment of heightened our stress. In any case, demonstrates that adventure.
Of course, the lack of registration was the number one topic of our holiday considerations. For two full weeks were moving to Croatia with one license plate, rightly assuming that the holiday crowd the car somehow "lose" our small lack After a few days the situation we commonplace and quite stopped to care. He was, however, the point at which we started to wonder if that "should" we miss the front registration, or is it better not to have this back, as I have only one.
The reasoning was that the missing front registration notice just standing on the side of police patrols, if you notice a police car driving from the opposite direction, you will not want to turn back to him - usually on the main road between the resorts are ruddy plugs and goes to "goose" - hard to turn back. In contrast, as we hit the traffic police car driving behind us, it's definitely worth having
