Day 456: Today, whilst I was somewhere over the Atlantic on my way to Poland, my father in law passed away. So instead of telling you my tales of getting lost wandering in the rain looking for a hostel in Poland, I just wanted to share a few pictures of this man who was only [...]

Day: 48 Not really, I wanted to see the castle, get some good pictures, have a few killer meals, sit in a café and drink cappuccinos, eat ice cream and see a movie. I am not really in the mood to write out the specifics of the day, yet I managed to accomplish everything on [...]
