...And finally we arrive to today. Didn't have anything planned for today, so i took a walk along the river. Coincidentally, after about half an hour, i stumbled across a crowd of people and found myself at the location of the Red Bull 3D Race, which was to take place at 2. Brilliant coincidence if you ask me. The 3D race wasn't really much of a race, more of a show. Technically it was a race between a speed boat, an F1 racer, and a stunt plane. There was a bridge going across the river from which the f1 race car would take off. Also on the bridge were 2 pillars for the plane to fly through. and the boat was to pass underneath the bridge. After each vehicle had it's individual warm-up the race begin. The whole point of the race was that at one point in time the plane flew through the pillars, as the f1 flew across the bridge, as the boat passed underneath it. From there the plane would go into a vertical climb, while the car and the boat were travelling in perpindicular directions; so the whole race resembled a three-dimensional axis. The plane ended up winning.
And that has been my polish adventure so far. Now i'm off to make a stir-fry of sorts (you know you haven't been eating enough vegies when you start to crave them). By saturday i should be in Estonia!

Happy Travels
Bernie here Ben - Chris told us about your blog and Will has found it this morning. Fantastic to hear of your travels. As well as the joy of now, the experience stays with you for a lifetime as you see things and places on TV for many years to come that take you right back. Was very sad to hear of your night sleeping in a garden. I still keep in touch with a French lady we met in Paris in 1985 and guess where she lives now - Caen! I am sure she would have let you sleep in her garden!! Have a ball! Hey Ben, good to hear your travels are all going well, except for a few hiccups along the way, amazing to hear of some of awesome places you have been, hopefully nothing else goes wrong, but have an awesome time anyway. Cya Later. Will
