... 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 ...

Jelenia Góra ('deer mountain') is about couple of hours south from Wroclaw (trains or buses). It is close to the Karkonosze mountain range running along the Polish-Czech border. Only 10-15 km of the town there are few ski resorts such as Karpacz, Szklarska Poreba.
Nice, colorful Market Square, Cyprian Kamil Norwid Theatre, Saint Cross Church, the Old Town are just few places worth of seeing.

... it was surprising to still see the economic differences between east and west Germany, but they are defiantly catching up.


As we headed east we eventually ran out of Germany and spent our last night in Zittau, it was a surreal town that borders Poland, Germany and Czech, driving round looking for a spot to camp we kept crossing the border by mistake, the borders are no longer controlled in the area. The last time we drove to Poland we waited ages to ...

al the former eastern bloc countries make for good travel,, but the one that i return to is the czech republic,, mainly to the north [north bohemia],liberec,harrochov,cesky raj, but a trip or two to moravia is also worth taking,,. during the communist times it was an eye opener, now also as the people wish for the return of those times,they knew where their bread was coming from, and the upgrades fron old skoda to super fast motorcars,, ah they stilll are crazy on the roads

... takze sme vybrali nase jesenne vertovky, ktore s nami precestovali pol sveta za posledny tyzden a mohli sme objavovat mesto pred nami. Liberec ma krasny architekturu z cias ked to bolo druhe najvyznamnejsie mesto v Cechach. Jeho odevnicky a tkacsky priemysel je preslaveny v celom byvalom Ceskoslovensku.

... 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 ...

... clouded over, and the town was virtually empty, giving it a strange feel. The rynek was nice enough, like any Polish town, although the cappuccinos we had in one of the restaurants certainly weren't. It was quite possibly the worst I'd had in my entire time in Europe, and with some shady characters making their way inside we decided to make a move. Swidnica was actually home to a UNESCO world heritage listed wooden church, and supposedly the birthplace of the German WWI flying ace known ...

... or not, desperately trying to work out what we think fuel will cost and what its advertised. Only when we get back we find its 40z to the pound, so shopping was incredibly cheap, to the extent Rob wishes to go back!! I make coleslaw (P.I.T.A) and a potatoes salad and its 12 degrees but without a breeze so Robs outside doing a BBQ. The campsite was difficult to find but is a nice site, large, no one around except one other large caravan with no ...

... crusty, which is why - according to Andreka - he's called Cert. At he bar, he also spoke and gesticulated with rabid energy. He spoke of his other love, for paragliding. He got mad at the girls for not liking him. He said to Andreka, about me: "On neba se od nic," (He's not afraid of anything) and, "Justin zabije!" Andreka wears thin blond braids to her mid-back. She likes snowboarding, mountain-biking, and mountain-climbing. Her face is as ...
