... believed to be haunted by the Boruta devil, who was given this castle as a thank you from one of the Polish kings, Kazimierz Wielki. According to a legend, Boruta used to be a really cute young man who would seduce every single female person in town.

We left Łęczyca way too quickly and made our way to the village of Tum, which is famous for its medieval collegiate church. To our ...

... będziemy mogli wyruszyc razem.
Myślę, ze dzięki temu blogowi będziecie w stanie choc na chwilę przenieśc się w miejsca, które ja odwiedzałem. Zapraszam do literatury wszystkich, równiez tych nie związanych z moją osobą. To tyle we wstepie. Ciag dalszy w Mexico....

Auschwitz-Birkenau was the largest of Nazi Germany's concentration camps. Prisoners were transported from all over German-occupied Europe by rail to Auschwitz-Birkenau in daily. Arrivals were separated into two main groups; those marked for immediate extermination, and those to be registered as prisoners. The entrance to Auschwitz I was ...

Wollen wir auf die Reise gehen ? Fernes Land zu suchen. Als ich mich bei der AQA zum ersten Mal vorstellte, sag- te man mir, das sein ja lauter so exotische Sachen, die ich da mache. Da wusste ich lang noch nicht, dass ich nur ein paar Wochen später in Masuren landen würde, das Amt si- cher auch nicht. Nun ja ...

One of the biggest Pilgrimage sites for the Polish people. It was one of the few cities in Poland not touched by the Communists. The image was painted by St. Luke, the scar on Our Lady's face was from a Communist Soldier when people were trying to hide the sacred icon. The Soldier sliced it with his sword, artists have tried to cover the scar up but every time they do the scar comes back.

... in Szymanow . His mother and father was married from this church. We drove to the village of Hermanow and saw the sugar factory which the owner burnt down for some unknown reason. We are assuming that the family were workers at the factory. It started to rain as we were leaving and was getting colder. This was the first day that the weather wasn't nice. although I took a photo of roses still blooming in the rectory yard. Tomorrow we will be in the Warsaw area.

... but for sure i moved away from the mud pit. I did at the end of the day, find a row of sinks to wash in. This was even less fun because, the sun was going down and the water was freezing. AND some guys were getting a kick out of watching me wash the mud off my body. A little humiliating but so necessary, i was determined to get clean again. After, that refreshing sink bath experience, it started to pour rain. I found a tent to hide under ...

... you almost know what to expect its what it was going to feel like and smell like that I wasn't sure of. You would expect, naturally that its not going to be a whole day of fun visiting somewhere with such an intense past and it wasn't but Auschweitz didn't rumble the emotions in me that I expected it to. We all know the atrocities that occurred there and how many people lost their lives at the hands of the Third Reich for no apparent reason and whilst Auschweitz is ...

... var tvungen att köpa hans skiva. Stilen kallades "Blue metal". Utelivet i Polen var nice förutom sent på tisdagskvällen när en polsk kille som jag bara hade varit trevlig mot vill slå ner mig. Blev orolig när han började skruva loss järnsitsen på barstolen för att (vad jag tolkade det som) dra den i huvudet på mig.

... three forest stages around the edges of the lake where we would stay the night in a large Meridien conference hotel. We were delayed at the stage start and examined the sandy soil which was to prove a real issue for us. We set off from the stage start and as we gathered speed the course took a right turn which tightened. The left front wheel was dragged into a rut and the car was clearly heading off the track.
