A train journey to Ratibor/Raciborz

We abandoned our idea of hiring a car, after waiting for four hours for the car hire company to be in touch, and after taking a taxi to their business address and finding a locked door ... we have come to the conclusion that car hire is still in its infancy in Poland. Never mind, we are up for an adventure and Ratibor is only a few hours by train. Goodbye Hotel Tumski - clean, comfy and very central. The trains date back to earlier times ... but they get you there on time just the same.

The first time that Ratibor is signed out - very exciting!

This is the station (below) where we needed to change to a different train ... lucky we had written it down.


The railway station in Wroclaw (Breslau) ... an adventure. After buying the tickets, noone was quite sure which Peron (platform) we needed to be on. It ended up being platform 3 in direction of Gliwice - with a change of train at a station of which we could not pronounce the name - see above. Another photo of Wroclaw railway station - retro for sure.
