... so to pick up tickets, then make our way to the Katowice train station. What is with us and being late for trains? After a lot of running and dropping things from our backpacks, we eventually made it well before the train. <br><br>We switched trains at Wroclaw station. It was the first time i'd been to a Maccas where nobody spoke english. I felt very vulnerable, but thankfully Anita was fluent in Polish. After a day long train ride, and a touch of ...

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. <br> Nice, colorful Market Square, Cyprian Kamil Norwid Theatre, Saint Cross Church, the Old Town are just few places worth of seeing. <br ...

... br>Its obviously a bit poorer in these former eastern block countries so you do get to see Europe from a completely different perspective, there was lots of heavy industry mixed in with the countryside, but generally it seems like a country trying to improve the best way it can. Its always a bit nervy crossing into a new country seeing if you are safe enough to free camp, but we did find a spot next to a lake on the first night and felt pretty safe.<br><br>As ...

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 ...

... pokazali, ze nie szata zdobi czlowieka (grecki mnich, bosniacka rodzinka), ujrzelismy miejsca cudne, ale rowniez takie wywolujace refleksje, przejechalismy 10 krajow i chyba z 6 stolic. Spedzilismy ze soba tyle czasu, ze to prawdziwy cud, ze sie nie pozabijalismy. Chwilami miewalismy siebie dosc, ale to chyba normalne, gdy przebywasz z kims 24h na dobe. Zadne z nas nie ma latwego charakteru. Marcin to ten typ, co ...

... only mosses on the highest peaks. The highest of these, Mt Sniezka (1602m), was to be our primary destination for the short weekend trip. We spent a night in Opole before heading off around 9am back up the A4, leaving it at Wroclaw soon after 10am. With some heavy Saturday morning traffic of the single laned road, we decided to stop off in Swidnica for a morning coffee. Ania actually suggested we stop in a "****** town" and Swidnica seemed to fit that description quite aptly. The skies ...

... sure how this happened, obviously I haven't been looking after him properly, which is one of his favourite catch phases. So 4 loads of washing, one dryer, charged by the hour, and its 14 degrees so not the best weather for drying. Washing really has become a obsession of mine, it's a war, you have to focus and be ruthless with all your competitors, this is not about making friends people, this is about survival of the fittest). Victory at last for ...

... school students. They were given the option of free-writing about one of several abstract or creative topics. One was, "How do you know when a friend is a really good friend?" Several students wrote that a good friend always tells you what he thinks about you, even what he doesn't like about you. So, I must behave as a good friend to Andreka. I can't be silent. I must tell her I don't feel good when she studies from me without seeing me. She's ...
