We have had some weather for our holiday. We pinched a couple of apples to have during the day from the breakfast bar. It was the really nice receptionist, Anna, who was on duty most of the day. There is also Anna who looks after the kitchen and there is Marta who cleans the rooms and changes beds etc.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After breakfast we read for a while. I downloaded a biography of John Wesley from the internet. I\u2019ve done all my reading on the Android tablet. If fact I\u2019ve used it for everything. I\u2019ve updated my website and have all documents like plane boarding passes, copies of our passports, ticket for Auschwitz, etc stored on it.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We left at 9.15 to walk up to near Krakow Glowny to 12\/3 Zacisze to the Betel Christian Baptist Church.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"\/\/www.hferrier.co.uk\/leafletjs\/leaflet.css\" \/>\r\n<script src=\"\/\/www.hferrier.co.uk\/leafletjs\/leaflet.js\"><\/script>\r\n<script src=\"\/\/www.hferrier.co.uk\/leafletjs\/GPX.js\" type=\"text\/javascript\"><\/script>\r\n\r\n<div id=\"map\" style=\"width: 80%; height: 500px; margin: auto; z-index: 2;\"><\/div>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n\r\n<script>\r\nvar map = new L.Map('map', {center: new L.LatLng(50.059,19.947), zoom: 14});\r\nvar osm = new L.TileLayer('http:\/\/{s}.tile.opentopomap.org\/{z}\/{x}\/{y}.png', {attribution: 'Map data &copy; <a href=\"http:\/\/opentopomap.org\">OpenTopoMap<\/a>', maxZoom: 18});\r\nvar track = new L.GPX(\"\/\/hferrier.co.uk\/personal\/2016-07_Poland\/16-07-10_Sunday\/Track_2016-07-10 093933.gpx\", {async: true, color: 'red', opacity: 0.8, weight: 3});\r\nmap.addLayer(track);\r\nmap.addLayer(osm);\r\nmap.addControl(new L.Control.Layers({}, {'GPX':track}));\r\nmap.addControl(new L.control.scale({metric: false}));\r\n<\/script>\r\n\r\n<br \/>\r\n\r\nThe people were lovely.

Then a snooze like any Sunday. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After that we walked down the river, ie. east. We went maybe 2.5 miles there and back. It was incredibly hot so we went slowly and kept stopping for a rest. We had a biscuit and drink of water on the way.

To my horror she couldn\u2019t find them! The thought of being stranded out here was almost more than I could handle. However 10 minutes later Anna knocked on our door with the lost items.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We put our card with 200 zl to her for herself, Anna in the kitchen and Marta. It is only \u00a340.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We listened to one of Hugh\u2019s sermons and then had our tea. Another roll and cheese, a peach, the horrible buttery crisps and a half Twix. I had a can of Pepsi, my Sunday treat. We didn\u2019t feel it was right to go out for a meal on the Sabbath.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So we have to pack and get ready for off.
