Took off at precisely 6:00 am to drive to Poznan to the Sheley's apartment where the Lloyd's will join us for a day of soaking in the history of Poland. Our destination - Wielkapolsa Village near the town of Lednogora on the Jezioro Lednica Lake, a small finger shaped lake.
.Leaving our apartment, Sarmacka 13/98
We were unsure about how to get onto the A2, Garmin does not know the A2 has been built, but here it is . . . the A2 to Posnan.
There are lots of beautiful forests in Poland.
Lots of beautiful bridges along any freeway . . . but this is the most unusual McDonald's sign we've seen.
We went through several toll booths . . . and were delighted to pay for the super smooth road where you can drive 130 kilometers per hour.
We arrived at 9:50 at Elder and Sister Sheley's apartment in Poznan.
Sheley's live in the blue and white apartment building right next to a Mall. Lloyd's arrived and we had lunch then drove over to see their church.
We drove across the river.
These crosses with the ropes must have a story.
This catholic church was taken over by Hitler and made into his headquarters.
