One week until take-off. Scary because of all snow that still covers the Polish towns and countryside: Elblag 24 cm, Olsztyn 16 cm. I hope it came down recently and will pass away soon or I will have to bring my Le Chaneau 1927. Nice rubber boots but unfortunately 1,3 kilos to heavy. I wish my backpack not to exceed 7,0 kilos.
All overnight accommodation has been booked - on excellent www.booking.com with only one exception - and at very good prices but after Szczytno even Agroturystyka B&B is sparsely represented. I fear more the rain and certainly cold rain and snowy winds. Cross my fingers that this scenario is behind us by next week. During my walk, that I will share for day 3 and 4 with Björn from Lund, I will leave the old Preussian today the Warmińsko-mazurskie województwo region full of lakes and natural beauty and enter the most populated of the new regions (since 1999) the Mazowieckie region including the capital of Poland, Warszawa. However, my way is - deliberately - avoiding the capital area with Ostroleka as my goal this time.
