Mmmm...Salty
... be up early once again to pack up, have breakfast and get ourselves to the airport as we have a flight to Berlin for what is our last full day of the trip.
The day after we will be getting a train to Frankfurt and the horror that is the impending 24+ hour journey back to Sydney via Dubai.

We met up just near our friendly sidewalk custodian whom we passed at the start of our route. We made it back to the hotel where Colleen and Timothy were ...
Day 8 - Biking near Niepolomice
... The cat seemed unperturbed by the ducklings as well. We rode on. Our group had shrunk to three, a much more efficient decision making team. At the half way point of the ride, we were convinced that we should be nearing the end of our journey. Sunstroke does that to a person. We rode on. The van was a welcome sight and not long after the snack van appeared. We were safe. The other good news was that we only had 5 km to go. ...
