Having failed to up-date you all on my min-adventures for a while, I should probably stary with Poland, where we spent a week split between warsaw and Krakow. Warsaw and Krakow were amazing and succeeded in blowing away all pre-conceptions of Poland being high rized soviet blocks (ironicaly the same pre-conception we had befosre visiting ethe baltic countries!!) Warsaw has basically been totally re-built as it was before the Germans burnt the city to the ground ...

Having heard great things about Lithuania from various people in Riga, we headed off to the capital - Vilnius. As the bus arrived in the city, we were greeted by an iron curtain of soviet tower blocks, which bore down upon us, as if trying to block out the sun. This was my first impression.

I have restrained myself from writing for a week or so. However, so much has happened that It'd not be fair for me to leeve you all out of the loop!!

Anyway, it turns out that Tailnn is no...

The past week and a half has been amazingly busy! We left beautiful Goa on the 13th having decided that we had time to go up to Mumbai and meet up with fellow Kings World Trust Volunteer Lucia for a few days of sight seeing.
