I still am in awe over what happened a few days ago as I flew from Tallinn, Estonia, to Krakow, Poland. I had to take two flights that day. The first flight to Warsaw left me cranky. It was one of those flights where we circled the airport for awhile ... Read more >

Malbork

Thu, 11 Oct 2012 | By vagabonds | Views [2110]

The German couple fidgeted and looked up the track expectantly.  The train that would take us from Gdansk to Malbork was late, unheard of and unacceptable across the border in their country.  With my "schlectes Deutsch" and his marginally better ... Read more >

Oswiecim: Words?

Mon, 24 Dec 2007 | By beaker | Views [635] | Comments [1]
