Interail is a straightforward concept-right? Buy pass, get on train, job done...
First day on the road/rails and the two silly English girls have naffed it up already by deciding to get on a train without looking at the start date on the pass, which happens to be tomorrow(worthy of note here that the start date was entirely our own decision). Thus we begin our effortless, ticketless trip at the ticket office at cross-purposes with an apparently hearing impaired Polish ticket lady, intent on sending us to Bratislava rather than the comparatively nearby Wroclaw (VROTS-wav?!), where we actually wanted to go. Can I just point out that my Polish pronunciation was near perfect, so obviously this misunderstanding was down to her hearing problems and not my Yorko-Polish accent. Tickets purchased we head off to the comfort of our new home for the next four and a half hours- a luxurious spot (sit anywhere ya like) on top of our rucksacks next to the toilet.
Lesson learnt- reserve seats. The trains here are busier than the Polish translation department at Job Centre Plus...
FACT Interail is a challenge...or is that just us?? :-/

Thank goodness you did linguistics. Without that you might have been completely up a gum tree. (do those grow in Poland?).
Churches and synaguogues eh!!! Take back all those comments you made about family holidays now... or some of them.
Glad to hear all is going well and that there have not been any major catastrophes. Love Mum x
Lovely to hear from you.

What about all those churches and synagogues then! You will have to take back all those sharp comments you made about family holidays... or some of them!
