We visited Auschwitz, makes your blood run cold, standing in in the crematorium where 1.5million people died The Nazi even harvested humain hair to make army uniforms and carpets. So sick . Then we travel north. Arrived Warsaw Tuesday morning, 34C. 2160km from home, Had to sit at a nice cafe drink mint lemonade. 70 year WW2 celebration are here too this weekend, so hotels busy. But we found space in quaint Castle Inn Hotel in old town square. Poland is nice, felt quite rich & definitly sucessful, lots of good roads, no problems with police. Warsaw Architecture is superb both old and new, city is bustling. Blog running bit behind we're in Minsk now, seams to be lots to do.... read more

Jadę na Mazury z moją dziewczyna i będe tu prowadził dziennik podróży. Nie jest już absolutnie żadną tajemnicą fakt, że dysponując na czas wakacji takim sprzętem turystycznym jak przyczepy kempingowe nasz wyjazd wakacyjny staje się dużo przyjemniejszy. Taki tan rzeczy wynika z faktu, że wakacje stają się wielką przygodą, co wiąże się z dużą dozą niezależności jaką zapewnia właśnie przyczepa. Hobby to z powyższych względów cieszy się stale rosnącą popularnością również i w naszym kraju. Niestety te nowe przyczepy kempingowe z racji znajdujących się wewnątrz niemałych luksusów cenowo znacząco przekraczają możliwości przeciętnego Polaka. Mimo wszystko nasi rodzimi amatorzy podróżowania wraz z kempingiem nie poddają się i zamiast nowych przyczep nabywają te używane np. sprowadzane z Niemiec bądź Holandii, gdzie karawaning święci ogromne tryumfy od bardzo dawna. Należy jednak uważać na dys... read more

Ako kazda moja noc v buse bola na hovno. Nevedel som sa poriadne ulozit. Sedacky boli fajn ale miesta na nohy poskromne. Sedel som v prednej casti busu. Mali sme tusim dve zastavky, ani na jednu som nesiel von. Na par hodin sa mi podarilo zaspat ale i tak ziadna slava. Po 6. hod sme dorazili do katowic. Tu vystupilo cca 3/4 busu. Vacsina sla na nizkonakladove lestisko odkial operuje hlavne wizz air a ryanair . Do busu nastupili fajnove rusky (len dost mlade). Jednemu polakovy sa moc nelubila ich ruska rec, tak po nich spatno zazeral. Dalsia zastavka bola v meste Częstochowa. Vystupil jeden clovek a nastupilo asi desat. Od katowic som sedel sam, konecne kopa placu. Cestou zacalo prsat, nastastie pred varsavou sa to zastavilo a bolo len polojasno. Poliaci maju fakt divne dialnice, ... read more

We arrived in Warsaw on the express train just after 11pm. Good for me, it seems the hotel I picked was the closest possible from the station....the kids were in bed just before midnight. Next morning, while Tiffany and Leslie were still sleeping, I went to book and pay our train from Warsaw to Minsk for the same evening. Good news, double one, they still had berths, and cabins were all 3 berths...that was, with the next train, the only one I couldn't book at a decent price on the internet. Our night train was to leave from the same station at 9pm. This gave us a full day to explore Warsaw. How do you deal with a proper visit to Warsaw...in a single day. You don't, it's like life, you simply make choices. Bear in ... read more

The day started with an hour walk to the Warsaw Uprising Museum. It didn't seem that far on the map but our map reading skills are obviously not getting any better! In our defence there is much construction happening and roads are closed off here there and everywhere which, when you are trying to find your way around a foreign city, can throw you for a loop! The hotel reception had assured us there would not be a line to get into the museum. Unfortunately this was not the case and we had to wait an hour to get in. Well worth the wait. The museum is a dedicated record of Warsaw's doomed rebellion against the Nazis in 1944. Yet again we were staggered by what the Polish people endured during World War II. The photographs ... read more
