Wrong time of year?
Many people tell us we chose the wrong time of year to visit Poland, that we should have come in summer in order not to freeze. We totally agree when the pain in the fingers and toes becomes unbearable. But we will never regret experiencing what the inhabitants of this region go through six months or more of the year: living in a giant refrigerator. Seeing the landscape covered with snow at sunrise with the soft undulations of the fresh snow from last night is priceless. The experience of digging out the motorcycles from under the snow to hit the road for another small stretch is something we couldn't have missed. Skating along the ice with tightened brakes is the most “exotic” thing that has happened to us. No doubt this is an experience that has “frozen” itself into our memory.
“Kawa or herbata”
This is what every Pole asks us three minutes after having met us. Every time we get to know somebody we know inevitably they will invite us into their home for a tee (herbata) or a coffee (kawa).
The people are charming, and the landscapes in the north of the country, where we are now, is enchanting with its hundreds of lakes and forests emerging after every turn of the road.
Winter is coming, and we begin to feel it here in the north. But the warmth of the Poles is distracting us, which is dangerous because the snow will surprise us on our route towards the south.
For over one month we were living in the back yard of a mechanics garage of a small town while we were servicing the engine of the truck to prepare it for the things to come. We are happy with our decision to add this new vehicle to the trip. It allows us to stay longer at each place to get to know it more profoundly. Also it gives us a place to work. We have already been able to finish the new edition of the DVD, which you can find here.
Light, camera, action!
This week we are on Rügen, an island in the north of Germany, shooting with the German television channel ZDF. They're following us day and night, on the road and camping. In mid-august the episodes “starring” us will be shown on television and will also be available in internet.
Our film team is great and loads of fun, so don't worry, we are having a great time working with them. Shortly we will upload the photos and videos of these crazy days so you can share the fun with us!
Hugs!
