Alpejski Karpacz

... fever, we finally made it to Kamienna Góra. We decided not to spoil a good thing and filled our faces full of food and vodka for the last 3 days of our trip. Just like i'd had encounted throughout our time in Poland, nobody spoke english, so charades became the most handy communication device with a few words of German thrown in. As Anita's uncle pointed out, he speaks Polish, German, Bulgarian and Czech fluently because he'd worked in those ...

... Mountains is part of the larger Sudetes range. Its highest peak is Sniezka which stands on the border between the Poland and Czech Republic - at a height of 1602 meters above sea level. The mountains are wonderful for trekking and ski. Large areas of the mountains are preserved as National Park.<br><br>To see photos from Jelenia Gora and Mountains please click here:<br>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =7KSPFn6p9Y0

... one book in reserve, yet I still end up re-reading books while I search for another. There was a dry spell in South America when I think I read the Nanny Diaries over three times. Since we have been in Europe, I have read 3 books: The Man Who Was Thursday by G.K. Chesterton A turn-of-the-century mystery by the master of theology, absurdity, and insight. Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert The journey of a woman developing an ...

... najpierw 1 krok do przodu, np. powie mi cos osobistego, a potem 2 do tylu - np. caly dzien mi dokucza. Ja z kolei... moge robic na poczatku mylne wrazenie. Ale jestem cholernie wrazliwa i ciepla. Mimo, ze na razie chyba oboje nie mamy ochoty ogladac sie nawzajem, to mam wrazenie, ze byl jednak jakis taki "klik", zazebienie trybow miedzy nami. A jesli tego "kliku" nie ma, to trudno zbudowac przyjazn, nawet, jakby to ...

... the 'Red Baron'. However, the trip was all about the Karkonosz, and we decided not to waste any more time here. We arrived in Karpacz, one of the most popular mountain resorts in Poland, soon after 1pm and made our way slowly up the winding main road amidst literally thousands of tourists. We certainly weren't the only people who'd planned a weekend here over the holiday, and after checking into our small guesthouse we quickly made our way away from the crowds in the centre of the town ...

9/10/07 Day 71 Today we travelled into the Czech Republic to a town called Trutnov just across the boarder near the alps. it's a cold day but the roads were gratefully uneventful and we arrive in the afternoon. Having no currency we headed off to find a bank and the shops, we get out 2000 Zakona and only get 2 notes, the problem is we have no idea what the exchange is, and can only guess. We do the shopping for just over 1000z and wonder if it was a ...

... hill above Trutnov to do some cross-country. It went great all day, the sun was there we were crossing a majestic Pine trees forest which had witness a huge battle between Prussia and Austria about 150 years ago... we were therefore on a huge battlefield. The snow was great and the landscape as well. Nonetheless saying it was nice to do some outdoor again! We followed an old man for few km in the forest talking ...

... but it began to rain steadily. The border town where we decided to stay, Szklarska Poreba, is very quaint -- in the hills; buildings and surroundings are very woodsy. It is clearly very popular with German tourists, and I was grateful that English is so close to German so that I could understand that the car park was around the back. But nothing else. We napped first, as it was ...

... is situated within the national park). Lowlights: -Getting off at wrong train station and having to walk 3km to our accommodation. (This was an easy mistake to make as we later found out that there are 3 stations with the same name.) Narrative and pictures to followww.

After taking a bus and then a train then a trolly car I made it to Treplice, normally in symmer this is a vey crowed place now I am the only person getting off the trolly car in this one horse town. I find a hotel to stay at and I am the only one there, they had to turn the lights on in the building for me. Now in Prague almost everyone spoke some english, in fact there were so many tourist there mostly what you heard was english, not so in treplice. I am now completly relying ...
