Back in Poland, one night we stayed at a very nice hotel on the banks of a river. It had been very hot all day and we'd been promised fresh trout, cooked over a camp fire, that evening, so the river had two very important purposes: firstly cooling down opportunities and secondly the opportunity to catch our supper.
You see both going on in our photo, but you will have to look very hard! Our minder was having a swim while we were perched on a rock getting ready to cast our lines. Actually we were politely asking our minder not to splash so much as we didn't want him to scare the fish.
Fortunately, a nice lady from the hotel came out and told us that they already had more than enough fish for everyone, even very hungry bears, so we needn't worry about catching any more.
After our delicious fish and smoked sausage supper, we had a bit of musical entertainment. Now we told you recently that bears are great singers, but did you know our musical talents extend far beyond singing?
Ever since Yorkie and I learnt that we were going to Poland, we started having secret accordian lessons as it seemed a very Polish thing to do, and we wanted to surprise everyone on the trip with our prowess on this great instrument.
While we picked up accordian playing fairly quickly (as a double act as neither of us could manage it on our own), unfortunately our teacher back in England didn't know any Polish songs, so we rattled through a few non Polish numbers such as When the Saints Go Marching In and Waltzing Matilda before handing the accordian back to our Polish leader Jakub for some real Polish songs.
What a great evening.
Lots of love George & Yorkie xxx
