Poland

Trip to Poznan was long. Got up at the crack of 4am so we could leave for Luton Airport at 5am. Got there without event - traffic not an issue when people should be sleeping and most are. Mum left her car keys on the seat in the bus from the long term car park, but fortunately someone noticed and chased after her. Got on the plane and enjoyed sitting next to a group of guys heading to Krakow for a bachelor party.... I don't think I need to describe what they were like as flight companions. Took a train from the airport to the main train station and bought train tickets to Poznan. This was where the trip diverged somewhat from the picture I had had. We decided to fly into Krakow because we planned a couple of days there after the conference. And I thought we would just nip back and forth to Poznan on the train. I mean how big can Poland be? I was thinking about a 3 hour train ride and it turned out to be 6 with a change of trains in Warsaw. Pretty grim after that 4am wake up... Were we ever pleased to get to our cushy room at the Sheraton and crash in nice comfy beds.
