Train ride

Breakfast in Lublin in the Grand Hotel Lublinianka was a real treat with latka's (traditional apple pancake) , pastries , b&e etc. We justified the big brekky by having a Turkish bath and sauna the night before. By the way we rated dinner last night at the Magia 10/10 ,definitely worth a visit if you like perfect service, fine wine & beer oh and the food was scrumptious . We are on the train now for 8 hours to Wroclaw (Breslau) Looking out the windows at a scenery now tranquil, but dad saw it differently. At Kielce he came under heavy artillery fire & thought his days were numbered. Just out of Radom a couple in panic pleaded for help as she was about to give birth. She was put into the back of their jeep where , much to the cheers of the crowds, dad proceeded to deliver a fine baby boy for the couple. New innocent life being brought into a world of turmoil. He was a self taught hospital orderly at the time, and ad-libbed ,as this was certainly not in the commando training manual. Anna , the tour guide at Stalag V111b emailed me to say she has a surprise for us when we arrive on Friday night....... What could it be? I am sitting opposite a tangle
 of bikes as the "special carriage" for them did not materialize . The ticket collectors are not happy, luckily we can't understand them....... More later.  Signing off.. Your intrepid reporter, Ronaldo Blint
