A one-day, post-holiday (Easter) trip to the castle in Janowiec and to Kazimierz Dolny on the Vistula River . The weather is excellent, the spring sun is shining and the temperature exceeds 20'C. How can you not go to the area? This time the choice fell on Janowiec and Kazimierz Dolny.

Departure after lunch from Kielce via Radom ... and it was a mistake. In Radom, some detour, traffic jams and half an hour's loss, but somehow happily reached the gate of the castle park in Janowiec. The gate to the parking lot was locked. Admiring the old buildings, the manor house and the beauty of nature, we slowly reached the castle gate, which was ... closed.

The castle is closed and the castle cafe too (logical). Returning near the parking lot, we saw a sign on which it was written that the lock was open from 1.05. And the matter became clear. We looked at the castle from the outside

we sat on a bench

and we took the ferry to Kazimierz Dolny, hoping it was open earlier than May.

And it was open ...

Fortunately, Kazimierz Dolny on those days without the crowds of tourists, so we could eat ice cream on the market square, buy a rooster and climb the Hill of Three Crosses ...

On the way back (no longer via Radom), we had a tasty dinner outside Opatów at Zajazd Świętokrzyski (at the ORLEN station). A nice trip ...

He used to travel with Adria, Knaus, BoXerk, and now HYMER B544 has appeared. What next ... time will tell. Maybe someone wants to read my reports, maybe he will follow me.

Places to visit

Guilty Bacharach

According to many tourists visiting the Rhine, the most beautiful town in the region is Bacharach, surrounded by the defensive walls. It is visited by lovers of wonderful landscapes and wine (not necessarily only Rieslings) and romantics. Bacharach is located in the district of Mainz-Bingen, between Loreley and Bingen, in a region famous for its wine production. The area in which it is located is the Middle Rhine Valley, which has been part of the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage since 2002. It is not without reason that the name of the city shares a common element with the name of the Greek god of wine, Bacchus, because Baccharach was in the past the center of the wine trade. The hills at its feet are also green today with grapevine plantations, so a trip along the vineyard route is one of the main attractions here. Which one is worth visiting? Certainly Weingut Ratzenberger , run by a family that handed down the wine tradition from generation to generation. From the top of the vineyard there is a wonderful view of Bacharach and its surroundings.

California - comfortable or beach

Volkswagen California is not very popular in Poland. Most drivers probably do not even know about the existence of such a car. It's a pity, because it is one of the few vehicles that are offered in a camping version directly by the manufacturer. Volkswagen California is a Multivan with motorhome equipment, although it must be noted right away that in a typical camping car we will find many more amenities. California is rather a compromise solution, dedicated to those who would like to have a van, in which you can spend the night from time to time. A Polish customer can order one of the two equipment variants - Beach and Comfortline - at the Volkswagen dealership network.

How to pitch a tent so that it doesn't rain on our heads

Here we are ... After a long way, we got to the campsite . The last challenge is ahead of us - to set up a tent. Apparently, the matter is simple ... but it only seems so. 1. The flysheet brushing our face in the morning. 2. In the event of strong winds - viewing the stars in the sky. 3. The flood or the pool. 4. Locust raid. 5. Possible visit of uninvited guests Of course, it all depends on the type of tent and the mileage years. If your portable home is typically "festival" - read no further, because our advice will not improve the situation much. We know this from the autopsy. You'll wake up with rain on your face anyway.
