5 May 2015. Warszawa. +24°C. A taste of summer and certainly a spring time fuse.
Wizzair did it again: allowed my backpack including the sticks. Landed on time.
Airport train shuttle at low fare of 1.70 PLN to Warszawa Centralna and from there a short walk to Intercontinental Hotel to see if our 1984-85 au-pair Monika was in her Pearl Beauty Clinic&Spa. www.pearlspa.pl. But no, too busy elsewhere in town...
Soon after at check-in desk of IBIS Hotel Muranowska, a reliable standard hotel. In the evening, back to city centre for a meal at the pleasant Greek restaurant www.elgreco-restauracja.pl on Grzybowska followed by an espresso and a meringue at Green Caffee Nero down the Grzybowska
and a slow walk along a peaceful Marszalkowska Avenue
back to IBIS in front of the Monument to the Fallen and Murdered in the East.
6 May 2015. Warszawa. Straight after breakfast to the newly opened Polin Museum to learn more about the Polish Jewish Community - its history, its culture and its destiny.
Det första som mötte dem var ett ännu inte uppodlat, skogsbevuxet land, som därför är temat för den första utställningsavdelningen.
The name Polin (Poland) was, according to tradition, to be understood as 'rest here' and that was what many jews did who - like their German neighbours - had moved east in the 14th and 15th centuries.
The first that they met was a territory not yet cultivated but densely wooded and thus the theme for the first exhibition section. I spent eight full hours trying to get a grip on the enormous information, perfectly displayed.
Once started your museum visit you met no chair, no coffee machine.
7 May 2015. 4:59. I am already packed and on the street to take the tram no. 18 to the central train station. The sun is up reflected on the latest skyscraper. Time to buy a breakfast before the departure 06:11 of the Warszawa - Lublin PKP InterCity.
The plan is to get to Jaroslaw and walk 15-20 km to Rokietnica and stay overnight Jasminowy Dwor. Changing from PKP train to PKS bus in Lublin was easy but I could start my walking not until 3:10 p.m.
As often in Poland today this place was a fully modern hotel in the country side.
8 May 2015. 10 am. Finally, a full day of walking! Along blooming colza fields, through mini villages and a surprisingly new and big school building.
For the 55 pupils there were nine (!) teachers including the director.
1:15 pm Ooops. Accident! A false step on the street through a part of Mackowice village and I fell scratching my right leg quite badly but nothing broken.
(...to be cont'd...)

Namnet Polin (Polen) kunde enligt legenden uppfattas betyda 'vila här' och det var vad många judar gjorde som hade dragit österut, likt sina tyska grannar i överbefolkade städer som Frankfurt/Main eller Köln från 13/1400-talen.
Det första som mötte dem var ett ännu inte uppodlat, skogsbevuxet land, som därför är temat för den första utställningsavdelningen.

Noon. Entering the f o r e s t , my favorite walking environment.
1:15 pm Ooops. Accident! A false step on the street through a part of Mackowice village and I fell scratching my right leg quite badly but nothing broken.
4:30 pm Przemysl in sight.
5:09 pm Hotel Pod Bialym Orlem in sight.
