DAY 3 - WARM-UP RIDE IN PULANY

Leaving Warsaw by bus, we were driven on a 2 1/2 hour ride through the Polish countryside to the town of Pulawy where we met our leaders and got our bikes.

We rode our bikes on a brick bike path along the banks of the Vistula River, the largest river in Poland - it flows north to the Baltic Sea.

We rode past gardens and villages,

Trees filled with mistletoe,

And larger Estate.

We watched farmers putting up string for the fields of hops.

After our ride we were driven to our hotel, the Krol Kazimierz in Krazimierz Doley. It was an old granary converted into a very modern hotel.

Outside the entrance this multitude of tittle figures were climbing the pole.

Both inside and outside were whimsical animal figures made of stone and metal.

The reception area was large and modern with a huge chandelier.

The main area of the ground floor was huge with the dining room to the left, a modern bar, boats hanging from the ceiling and 2 floors of rooms above.
