... the pianist Paderewski who became president of Poland. As I say, this priest followed us through, encouraging us to look or photograph, but locking up behind us. Eventually we came to some stairs back up to the cathedral - there was a chain across the top, but we removed that in order to get out, and it turned out that the cathedral was dark & locked up & there was one guy standing waiting at the main door to the cathedral, to unlock it again to let us out ...

... that the other bus was late but we were waiting in the right place). And then I'd overheard these women stressing about what was happening & went over to tell them what we knew. English speakers drawn together. They are going to Bialystok, getting in at 7.50 after losing an hour - Poland is on western European time & so 1 hour behind Vilnius - ie 8 hours behind Sydney. We & the young Americans are going on to Warsaw, getting in about 11 (Polish time). Our guide ...

... not feeling well having woken with a case of the runs. Fortunately there was ************e on board so we had a carriage to ourselves, so I could lie down and sleep for some of it. Eventually got into Keleti station at 9-30pm. Fortunately our hotel was just across the road so we could walk there. After checking in and getting some cash Fletcher had a Pizza, but I couldn't face food so bed beckoned!!

... Orleans. The people of Warsaw did not give up on their city, however, and following the end of the war in 1945, the rebuilt the Old Town almost exactly the way it was prior to the war.

... beer....an excellent and fitting way to round off a trip that took in as much beer as it did sights. The next day saw us bord the Eurostar train to lille...but get of in lille and head to Calais as we had decided to take the ferry home so we could see the white cliffs and save a few pennies. We arrived in Calais in torrential rain and endured a damp crossing- arriving in Dover we couldnt quite believe that we ...

... me what I like to do I tell him drink beer. This actually shuts him up for a while. I end up taking a pic of him and than I ask this passerby to take a pic of the two of us. He asks for my number and I give him the land line. I tell him that I live with my dad and my dad will wonder who's calling. He gives me his address so that I will send the pic of the 2 of us to him. Umm.. even thou I promised, I'm not doing it. I finally get rid of him and ...

... that we had lunch in and ordered a local specialty, roast duck with apples. It tasted great, no regrets there! Anyhow, I'll have to keep this one short cos our train is coming soon! Tonight we are doing yet *another* train, this time heading back down to Vienna, Austria. Disgusting note: Tomorrow will be our third day with no accommodation (just sleeper trains) and hence the third day without a shower... gross!! Bye for now, John

... s age (he was 12) when the Nazis invaded Poland and some of them or one of them, might have even known him and his family. I'm sure many of them had lost friends, family, neighbors, lovers, aquaintances, playmates, co workers, and someone as simple as the neighborhood baker or shoe maker that their family always used to visit either in a concentration camp, to the violence during the Warsovian riots or to the war in general, or to the Communist regime in some way.

DISCLAIMER: I wrote this right after it happened, so I am not responsible for the errors and/or language usage. Holy F&%#!!! We totally just almost missed our train to Kiev and would have been stuck in the cold, snowy Polish border city of Przemsl! We've always gone through customs on the train, yeah - not so this time. Apparently we were supposed to go through prior to getting on the train. Also, we couldn't find the damn ...
