Diary for Paul & Tracey's Travels


Last day in Poland - return to Warsaw

2008-11-06

Final day in Poland. No real plan other than to take a leisurely drive back north to Warsaw Airport and take in the polish scenery. Initially headed east towards Radom and stopped at a small village called Szydlowiec, where we stopped to look around. Again great to stop and get a feel for regular polish life. Picturesque square and church. Proceeded to turn north and pick up the main road. Met a fair bit of traffic due to extensive road works, and eventually pulled off at Bialobrzegi to get something to eat. A pleasant provincial town, we stopped in a local bar which served food. I had cheese dumplings which were actually large ravioli style pasta parcels with a kind of goat style cheese inside, served with a sweet sauce. I also had cabbage which I don`t think are normally served together, but again my polish let me down. Once we joined the road again, we had great difficulty finding the road into the airport - ironic after earlier in the trip when we found ourselves in the airport when we did`nt want to be and could`nt get out ! Anyway, we made on time for the flight which left on time despit the plane having come in late form it`s previous destination. The flight was unenventful, and the day ended with a tiring 2.5 hour drive home. Next up Hong Kong, and the on to New Zealand !
