Goodbye Poland, Hello Germany and Czech Republic

to get the right answers, ask the right questions to the right people.
Lisa, the lovely German couch host we met in Görlitz let us have her whole apartment while she went to her boyfriend's.  She brought us around the sparsely populated town of elderly people to have a nice German dinner at the Kartoffel Restaurant.  I had pork leg with potatoes, which is way too much for me.

Görlitz is a nice city in the former Eat Germant with most buildings restorated.  Most of its inhabitants are pensioners since there is little industry in the city.  The Polish half, Zgorgelec was split apart after WW2 when the borders were redrawn by the Allied powers.  If you cross the bridge over the Oder Neiße that separates the two to the Polish part, you find cheaper food and entertainment.

We stayed 2 nights in Görlitz to properly see the city from Landskron hill.  There is a restaurant and a small tower on the summit where one can oversee the city, its surrounding farms and the far away Karkonosze mountain ranges.

Hey there :)

Like I can see from that many new photos taken after your biketour - I would say, your life goes on very fast and exciting!

Just for one moment I want to take you back in the past, because I just want to thank you a lot for that nice postcard from italy!!! I didn´t thought, you would really send me one :D that made me smile a long time that day :) Hope, you had a really good time. And it was nice to meet you. Cheers! Lisa from Görlitz

PS: The river through Görlitz is the Neiße, not the Oder. hihi :)
