Poland continued...

The train stations in Poland are not so good after Belgium and Holland!! One thing I learned is that in Poland they put the arriving trains (on the left) posted next to the departing trains ( on the right). In short, if you plan to depart on a train that's arriving, you're not going anywhere. So, no Boleslawiec for me, but I can now say the name of the town. I can also say Wroclaw and Katowice correctly. All in all I had a nice day in Poland, I met an old lady on the train who couldn't understand why I wanted to go to Boleslawiec in the first place, because it was only pottery factories. When we got off the train in Wroclaw she waited for me with her daughter who speaks really good English. She was tremendously helpful to me and pointed me to the city center, which was really nice. I was pleasantly surprised by the whole place and would go back again, but with a phrase book.
