You know “rest”, right? Feet up, binge series/book at the ready, feet up, cocktails on tap? That’s what I thought too. Today’s not even close. In fairness, Poland has challenged us in one unforseen way […]
2019 Day 65 – Lubin
I just can’t resist another stroll into Zamosc in the morning. And it’s just as well. Last night we didn’t get the chance to see the Cathedral, but it’s open this morning. We also see […]
2019 Day 64 – Zamosc
We have our first taste today, of the distances Poland will bring. We’re driving from Wieliczka to Zamosc in Poland’s south east. With over 300 km separating the two places, it’s a drive that would […]

2019 Day 58 – Trencin
We’re inching our way north through West Slovakia, through spa towns, endless corn and wheat fields and the occasional castle perched on a rocky outcrop. Following the path of the Vah river, our aim is […]
2019 Day 57 – Hopping around Trnava
