In the Car with Kim

It was a reckless, arduous three thousand, seven hundred kilometre return trip travelling from the Baltic city of KlaipÄ—da to the Dutch side of the English Channel. And at that, we did it in the olden days. We all remember the days before cheap laptops, when pocket-size mobile phones were only any good for making calls, and when ipods were still chunky things with relatively few gigabyte.

We approached the Polish border, with an ageing map, a Thermos full of hot water and my ipod bulging at the rivets with a full four gigabyte of BBC and Radio New Zealand podcasts. This was going to be a long journey.

As soon as we hit the main road into Poland south of MarijampolÄ—, we were swept up into an out-going tide of speeding trucks. My wife, navigator and ipod pilot, was given the job of finding the last service-station before the border.
