We're on the road; our team - Fred, Guzik and I. Destination: Dresden (270km)
Today the adventure starts! I have mixed feelings, mostly I'm excited about what is to come - the feeling of being on the road, that excitment about being able to point on a map or out the window and simply say: "lets go there!"
The other side of me is sad - sad to be leaving Poland and the friends I met along the way. Sad to be closing down a life, packing it up into boxes and plastic bags. I know this feeling will pass, and I also know I will visit Poland again, but for now my home is the road.
-------------------------
Just before passing over the boarder into Germany we quickly filled the car with petrol and stopped into the local diner for one last polish meal. I have to say it was not the best meal I've had, but its good enough for one last memory.
Arriving in dresden we find our way to Torsten a local friendly couch surfing friend of freds.
Torsten tells me a few stories one of them is:
Once he was in new york staying in a 6 floor youth hostel. When he went to the toilet he noticed a large circle on the roof, and a constant drip coming from the centre. He avoided standing under the 'raincloud on the roof' and finished his business, When he was done, he flushed the toilet. The water began to rise up, up and over the top... flooding the surrounding floor. His thoughts wondered to the person in the toilet below also looking up at the 'raincloud on the roof'... The life of a traveller.
