As our rostered days off coincided, and the air fares were reasonable, it was time to head off to Poland once again. Trip #14 wasn't as thoroughly researched as usual, as this was more of a chill affair with earlier finishes and later starts in the morning. After a 30 minute delay, Wizz Air's HA-LXS took us to Chopin Airport in 1h 45m.

Upon arrival it was the mandatory ride up the escalator to crib the Military bits. Disaster! The normally great view has been scuppered with the addition of matt plastic sheeting over the windows.
Nice to see the newly delivered Government B738, plus our one and only LOT B788

Due to some shocking traffic and it getting dark at 4pm, an early finish saw us at the Hotel Bella Vista, Wesola. A good meal and a few Carlsbergs were in order after discovering they had no local brew!
Day 2
First port of call was Goraszka. We suspected it was closed to make way for a Supermarket. Nothing seen, all locked up.
A speculative circuit at Minsk only produced the 154.

Having left the Museum at the usual warp speed, eagle eyed Cat spots a windsock and poster with a Xenon Gyro on it. Rude not to…..!
The gent there was happy for pictures of SP-XENN, but not the one under construction. I blimped the c/n while he wasn't looking.

Plock was dark and deserted! A visit to Wlocwalek yielded similar to Plock. Night-stop called for at Hotel Victoria Wlocwalek.
After a lot of Tyskies, and a catch up of the EPL at a great sports bar it was time for a feed. Retro Restaurant was an excellent venue serving up excellent local grub including Cat's favourite, Pierogis!
