3.293 km - VINYETTEN

What do Czech Republic, Austria and Slovenia have in common? ... the VINYETTEN!!

The VINYETTE is a sticker that you have to pay once you get in a country in order to have the “right” to use their roads. We guess that long time ago some "smart" guy thought this could be a nice way to get extra money and since then all neighbouring countries are copying the idea. But the best part is that after paying the VINYETTE, you also have to pay tolls! :-)
We thought of skipping to buy the vinyette in Slovenia once and just continue straight at the border, but changed our minds last minute. Luckily so, as at the next pay toll the police was giving heavy fines to every car without vinyette!
It is interesting to point out that so far Germany is the only country where we did not have to pay anything to use their roads. Thank you!!  ;-)
