Ukraine Polish border crossing

Poland. We crossed the border from Ukraine yesterday morning.. Very long and serious business till Nigel was sternly questioned as to why his passport photo was faded. When he replied " washing machine " the fatboys burst out laughing and we all nearly got arrested. A total of 67 km "easy on road " was covered today. We finished the day at a very pretty Zamosc  . This is the route dad could well have taken whilst moving with the Ukraine army, he was still an orderly at this stage and putting their stocks of bandages and medicines in some sort of order. He also acquired the above somehow as these items were not high on the army's priority list. Zamosc is where, in 1588 Jews were granted permission to live . By 1940 there were 12000 by end of 1941 there were none. ...... Living .

  1. Hey Zamosc looks great. I went to check out the old city on their street webcam; but someone has taken it. Can you check Jon's paniers please; they want it back! Enjoy
