Wrocklaw to Warsaw

Wrocklaw to Warsaw is seven hours on the train,  Dr Anne and Lois boarded at 0925 for the journey.  


There was a turntable to take the luggage up the stairs. Excellent...

Lois was heavily into 'I am a Pilgrim'.  


The journey was slow, stopping and starting.  There were many goods' trains. 


The countryside was flat, either cultivated or forested.  There were multitudes of corn fields ready for ploughing.  

At Łódź a party of Scouts arrived and the carriage was packed.   Fun came.  Dr Anne tested their English to the limit.  Suddenly the train stopped.  The Scouts translated the messages.  There was an accident up the line.  We would be delayed for 2 hours.  Two accidents in one week... so much for Polish trains... This time, people could go onto the platform and walk around.  One of the Scouts phoned Dr Anne's accommodation in Warsaw to let them know of the late arrival. Eventually after almost nine hours Dr Anne and Lois arrived in Warsaw. The Warsaw apartment was beside the station.  However, fatigue had set in and it took ages to find the street.
