Cabbage patch...

Heading East. Glorious weather and roads for the first 40 miles, through oak forests then farmland on good tarmac quiet roads. Fields of potato plants and folks picking cabbages by hand. A man uses a small strimmer to cut the hay in a field of several acres - it will take him days! Storks walk about in the crops, and many of the abandoned factory chimneys are adorned with a nest.


Then the road surface is more hard work as the potholes increase. After 55 miles we start to look for a stop for the evening. Poland does not appear to have campsites or B&Bs and some quite big towns have either no, or closed down, hotels. By the shore of the River Oder at Brzeg Dolny, the hotel we had been promised on a website is found. A business type hotel with modern ensuite, great power shower, balcony, use of a swimming pool, free wifi and breakfast - all for £23. We spend the evening planning the next stages of your journey.
