Central Poland

July 13:  ILAWA, POLAND.  Jim bought a replacement computer for the one stolen in Tallinn.  We drove to another campsite on a lake. 
July 14:  KATY RYBACKIE, POLAND.  We stopped in MALBORK and toured the castle.  It is the largest Gothic castle in Europe and was once the headquarts of the Teautonic Knights.  It was built in about 1276.  We stayed at a resort town on the Baltic Sea which may have not been the best thing to do since we were there at the beginning of the vacation period for Poland.  Wow, there were a lot of people.









July 15-17: ZNIN and WAGROWIEC, POLAND.  The WAHOWSKE family search started.  We first stopped in Wagrowiec to determine if we could find information about my great grand parents who were born in this area.  We were able to gather some information from each city.  We stayed in Znin one night and spent the day searching graveyards and walking the village.  The second night we drove to Wagrowiec and went to a church festival which had crafts, activities, and bands.  Free camped in the parking lot near the festival.  Sunday we walked grave yards again and then moved to a wonderful campsite on a lake and enjoyed swimming and people watching.
