    We got away early this morning because we knew we had a longish drive of about 4 hours. The first couple of hours were on very busy motorways around Katowice, so quite dull to drive, and included a stop for coffee that produced a new low for coffee this trip.

    To break up the journey we decided to go into Wroclaw (pronounced "vrot swaaf") to see the famed (apparently) Wrocławski Rynek (Market Square). The square was very nice but we both thought it would be improved by having less tourist tat - the same market stalls that you see at every single Christmas market anywhere in the world. We climbed up to the Wieża Kościoła observation deck while we were there.

    Then on to here, a beautiful campsite on the border with Czechia with views towards the Giant Mountains. Giant by name but not really by nature! The second half of the drive was much more enjoyable than the first, although getting out of Wroclaw had a couple off stressful moments.

    Campsites in Poland are getting busy in the run up to this weekend, which is some sort of religious festival, so after a walk tomorrow we are going to head to Czechia and Germany for a bit where we hope they will be less busy.
