My last full day in Poland and I spend most of it online. The PC in the hostel was free, it was chucking it down outside and I had a bunch of emails and blog posts to get through. I arranged to meet a couple of the girls in town again to do a last [...]

I staggered to the airport bus stop as the time drew near 4am and hopped into the express which would wing me to the distant Frankfurt-Hahn.
