U Supa Hotel Harrachov

... we were back on the plane headed for London. It was sad for Anita's relatives throughout this trip. They hadn't seen her for 10 years (some had never met her) and weren't sure when they'd see her again. One thing i'd learnt along the way was Polish families are close, so to say goodbye to her was a tear jerking moment. What wasn't so tear jerking was the flight back. I was impressed with W!zz...even if they do spell their name with an exclamation mark!

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 ...

... week was fairly chilled out we could have headed straight to Warsaw over the next few days to visit my family in Poland but they suggested to come the week after when there was a birthday party on, so it would be easier to catch up with everyone in one go. This meant we had quite a bit of time to spend in the region and our plan was just to take our time in Czech and maybe go to south Poland before we headed north to Warsaw.<br><br>We spent the rest of the week ...

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.

... I could make a wrong first impression. But I am a very sensitive and warm-hearted person. Although both of us have enough of seeing each other for now, I have this impression things have "clicked" in between us. And if there is no "click" in between people, it`s hard to build up a friendship, or even, as my friend would say, a "rough friendship". The time will show whether we will be able to continue our relationship.

... were suddenly surrounded by thousands of people just wandering and eating. Upon discovering the entry price to the castle we decided to turn back and go for a short walk through the nearby forest. In the end, this worked out well, as it was a lot more tranquil and we even discovered a viewing point of the fine castle, which Hitler once planned to use as a shelter. We arrived back in Opole soon after 7pm, capping off a great weekend. We certainly made the most of our time, doing a bit ...

... 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 ...

... to pay more attention to the map! The first 8km of the walk wasn't too difficult, even if I was still trudging through snow. The problem came when I reached the mountain, with an ascent of 300m over 300m horizontal distance (as the crow flies). This took the form of about another 2.5km of rather painful, steep switchbacks. It was slightly later than expected when I reached the top, though I couldn't complain about the views. Still hoping to reach the town before dark, I set off quite ...
