Rural Life Refreshes Us

We certainly liked the pace of life in the Polish countryside. No-one seemed to be in too much of a hurry and we saw some great examples of old tractors and agricultural machinery.

We found this old waggon in the grounds of our hotel and thought it would make a great backdrop for a photo. Can you find us in the picture?


We were also very impressed by the craftsmanship of the Polish people. We've already shown you some of the great old wooden houses in Zakopane. We also visited some amazing wooden churches and a village where so many of the houses were made of wood that the village is in fact an open-air museum of timber architecture. This gave us a great opportunity to get a close up look at the houses without being accused of trespassing. We found a loveley wooden step in the sun and took the opportunity to do some sunbathing and have a post lunch snooze.


It's a pity no-one told us about the dog though. Our relaxing reverie ended quite abruptly when a fearsome hound came on the scene!

We lived the tell the next tale though so keep reading.

Lots of love George & Yorkie xxx
