Expedition

We have encountered some unforeseen time constraints, so we had to forgo going there by public transport and we were able to set out only at 3:26 local time. Therefore even if I drove semi-aggresively, we have arrived a bit late, at six past four. We (rightly!) did not expect to meet anyone, but just in case...

Our route led us through Nowa Huta, a new city (now being a district of Cracow) constructed in early 1950s during Communist rule in Poland, around huge steel works named after Vladimir Lenin. In fact, the Igołomska street near wich the hash point was located runs along the southern fence of the industrial complex.

We got into the car and drove off. My daughter was making some photos along the way - thanks to her I have some more to write about. All photos from the car trip are by her, the photos from the hashpoint by me - except one. Soon we drove past the southernmost tram line terminus in Cracow, from which we originally intended to take tram number 10 to reach a tram stop in the Igołomska street just shy of the easternmost terminus in Pleszów - unfortunately we could not afford the time required to complete such a journey this Sunday. We crossed the Vistula river on a bridge in Nowohucka street and soon reached somewhat convoluted net of streets and roundabouts of Nowa Huta and the neighbouring residential districts. I rarely visit those parts and sometimes get lost there even if no road works. Fortunately, this time I have managed to stick to the planned route without undue detours - on the way there, at least. After not so much time we arrived at the central square of Nowa Huta, currently bearing the name of President Ronald Reagan, with its characteristic and unique socrealistic architecture.
