On this beautiful morning in Poland we drove in heavy traffic through woodland, clusters of lakes and cultivated farmland en route to our first destination, Olsztyn. By now we were well north and noticed the roadside fruit stalls had been replaced by a lone figure sitting with a bucket or two of potatoes and onions on the roadside.

Nie jest to za duże miasto ale ma swój urok. Nie zwróciłem uwagi na jakotakie życie młodzieży w tym miejscu bo nie po to tam jechałem ale myśle że jakotakie istnieje wnioskując po ilości młodych w uliczkach i placykach w centrum. uwage przyciąga architektura zachowanych budynków no i oczywiście zamek. ... read more
