Sunday, 8 May
We left Poland early in the morning and took a scenic 4 hour bus ride, passing into Slovakia and arriving at our guest house in the Tatry Mountains. It was a treat to get away from the city and crowds and take in some fresh mountain ... Read more >

![Upon leaving the beach, I saw a man praying facing west towards the Kabaa in Mecca.
