**or if they were enforcing stricter rules due to something that happened,**
in the U. S.
Day 3, Thursday, June 15th
Prague, Wroclaw, Warsaw
We journeyed by bus through the Czech countryside, crossed over into Poland and kept driving. I had no idea that the rules and regulations for the bus drivers were so strict. We had two drivers on this section of the journey since it was so long. And we got pulled over at the border into Poland to check the vehicle and give the drivers sight and hearing tests. We all wondered if they did this with everyone coming into Poland or if the fact that we were 44 people from the United States and we were being harassed had a part in this temporary setback.
They drivers can only driver so many hours in one day and then they need rest on the following day. I can understand it all since our safety was in their hands. The second driver left at that time. Stayed at the very modern Novotel Centrum in Warsaw. We arrived around 8:30 pm when our scheduled arrival time had been more like 7:00 pm.
Because of the time delay at the border we did not stop in Wroclaw at the university there, but instead, kept driving. We were all very tired at the end of this travel day.
