14th March 2005

Arrived at my brothers in Tarnow Poland on Friday night following a long journey, not helped by my confusion with signs on railway stations and hence missed connections. Languages have never been my strong point!

Having left Prague have spent 10 days zipping around Czech in no particular order (lack of planning = unnecessary time on a train!) staying in anything from a mixed dorm (new world) to a reasonable hotel (old habits die hard)

Highlight of last ten days..swimming in a thermal open air public swimming pool as day turns to night and snowflakes hit my nose. (treatments in Karlovy Vary coming a close second)

Lows? Nil Points.

Lots of churches, market squares, museums and SNOW!

Looking forward to next few days in Poland and Russia next week!
