Still heading south through Krakow and now at Nowy Targ the home of the extra wheel trailor (it seems that nobody in the town knows of that fact).
The scenery is fantastic, quite Alpine!! now that you can see the big mountains of the Tatras,. .Having avoided all big places so far we finally bit the bullit and barelled into Krakow. Good thing we did as it was stunning. If the main square does'nt make you go '' wow ' then nowhere will. From there its straight into rolling foothills. Tatras look great, v. compact....but we'll get in there tonight and do some proper exploring, ,maybe for a few days.
Polish dogs.
They all seem to have them ;a little yappy thing and a bigger fiercer back up. They keep them behind their fences and they all go ballistic when we pass . Every house has a sign "Uwaga pies " , and that is what they should do with most of them, the small yappers particularly.
Agriculture is quite interesting! small tractors and fields, grass dried on hay ricks, old MF and Claas 6ft header combines. There are a few of the MF 250 series tractors about, I think these may be the ones built under licence in eastern europe! But of course this is only in the hills. The lowland farms tend to be on a much larger sacale, fields of 200 acre large tractors etc, still nice to think that in the hills people are still making a living off 5 cows and 50 acres.
Enough agric culture for now, next time building design!!

  2. Nice piccies but what is Nic pointing at?
    I have just used your wetsuit for the fist time Nic, in Ullswater with Helene and Tim. Why it had to be 7.30 on a wet and windy Sunday morning though I do not know. The wetsuit was however very welcome in those conditions. Your spelling is fairly bad Jon and I can see why Nic has to apologise. I do not mind as long as you do not mind mine. I was in the dunces (sp?)class at school for spelling! Well done with all those miles, dogs and tractors. Lots of love Jane
