Back to the Bright Lights

The next day started off with an ascent to a ruined castle that was too steep for bikes so we had to approach on two legs. We could see for miles and the views were well worth the climb. At least having a good view to admire does give tired legs a chance to recover.


When it came to lunch, remembering our healthy fish supper of the night before, we decided to continue to be good and declined a cauldron of delicious bigos is favour of a virtuous salad. Note the beer in the background though - there's only so far you can go with a health kick!


Mind you, you've got to admit it was a rather splendid salad. If they made salads like this at home we'd eat salad more regularly than as an annual event.

After lunch, sadly it was time to leave the charms of rural Poland and head back to Krakow. It's tempting to pretend to you that we pedalled all the way back, but you'd quickly realise that with only a salad to sustain us we wouldn't get very far. We'll therefore reveal the true way our two wheeled steeds returned to the city. Can you find us in the picture? It's a bit like hunting for Bear!


As it was once again baking hot, it was very tempting to travel back to Krakow perched on our saddles but our minders said it wouldn't be safe and they'd miss our company in the minibus. We therefore decided to humour them and join them in the bus.

Lots of love George & Yorkie xxx
