... If he had worked in an English speaking country, he surely wouldn't be living in Poland now. Fair point. <br><br>He took us out to visit Anita's babcia. We went to a tiny little village out of town that looked like it'd seen better days. In fact, most of Poland had seen better days. Since the fall of the Soviet Union, and more recently, the induction into the E.U, all of Poland's wealth and labour force had moved west across the border ...

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 ...

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

POLSKI: Z jednej strony sie ciesze, z drugiej jest mi troche ciezko na duszy. Typowy dla mnie syndrom konca jakiejs podrozy. Dzis powinnismy dotrzec do domu... W Pradze dotarlismy do stacji metra "Cerny most" i stamtad wsiedlismy w autokar Student Agency do Liberca. Tam okazalo sie, ze wiekszosc osob jezdzi do Polski przez Niemcy, co dla nas bylo bez sensu. Wsiedlismy wiec w kolejny autobus do H... cos tam, a stamtad ...

... church in the Sudetes, situated at 886m, and was well worth the visit. We left Karpacz around 2pm, and after snaking our way through the scenic winding roads of the former Sudetenland, we decided to have a break at Ksiaz castle, near Walbrzych. This is the largest castle in Silesia, and I imagined we'd find a nice quiet place in the gardens to rest for a while and take in the view. I couldn't have been more wrong, as we stumbled upon some kind of festival once we passed through the gate ...

... 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 ...

... is not going to help his reluctancy! We find our campsite and set up. We will stay for 3 nights and explore the area. The camping only went from bad to worse: Our air mattress had a hole, Tom's throat began hurting and the rain continued! This was not my ideal manner of introducing him to cheap accomodation and the joys ofcamping! We have a few days to relax, hike and soak in the mountain air. We took ...
