A wasp buzzed into my tent at 08:30 and that certainly is more effective than an alarm clock. I whipped out to a nearby store for some bread, sliced meat and milk. I ate, packed up and split. A gruelling walk took me to the highway heading to Stockholm. In a moment a lift fromContinue reading ““Travels to a Different Time: 26June1975: Almhütt, Sweden: The Home of IKEA!”

“Travels to a Different Time” :25June1975: Ystad, Sweden: Burgers with The Boppers
Up at 07:30 for a hot shower. So good! I needed to ask someone how to use it. You set the temperature and press a button and water shoots out of the shower head for about 40 seconds and stops. You keep pressing the button until you are done. It gives you time to soapContinue reading ““Travels to a Different Time” :25June1975: Ystad, Sweden: Burgers with The Boppers”

“Travels to a Different Time” : 22June1975: Gdansk, Poland: Train Troubles
Up at 10:00. Wrote a couple of letters and updated diary. My Polish gang and I went to the store and bought food for breakfast and lunch.

“Travels to a Different Time” : 21June1975: Gdansk, Poland: Polish Party: The Most Incredible Fish Market!
Was in bed at 02:00 as a big yakfest. Up at 10 and we had a breakfast of eggs and bacon with stale bread and butter. It seems I have become a Polish university student taken under their wings. As I will be attending McGill University in Montreal in September I guess I have theContinue reading ““Travels to a Different Time” : 21June1975: Gdansk, Poland: Polish Party: The Most Incredible Fish Market!”
“Travels to a Different Time” : 20June1975: Gdansk, Poland: The Washing Machine that Blushed
Had a good sleep and up at 08:30 and went out in search of some goodies for breakfast. Bread and cheese are hardly goodies. I tanked up on mineral water at several places getting hydrated for my slog hitchhiking. They don’t seem to do a very good job of washing dishes and glasses in Poland.Continue reading ““Travels to a Different Time” : 20June1975: Gdansk, Poland: The Washing Machine that Blushed”

As I sit down and write this I don’t know what has happened to me. How can a day disappear? How is it I remember so little of it? I keep thinking it was a nightmare I had. It goes something like this. I am in a rail car, a box car with slats inContinue reading ““Travels to a Different Dimension” : Unknown Date in 1975: Warszawa and Treblinka, Poland: Was I In Treblinka and Why Can’t I Remember? “
“Travels to a Different Time” : 19June1975: Warszawa, Poland: Russian Champagne, Eggs, Babka and Mushrooms and the Shrieking Cleaning Lady
Had 5 hours of sleep woken up by the “secretariat” tapping late sleepers on the shoulder at 10:00 hours. Did morning ablutions then went out to eat with the Norwegians. The cafeteria at the Centrum department store was closed so we bought some bread and cheese and watched the people flow by. I went intoContinue reading ““Travels to a Different Time” : 19June1975: Warszawa, Poland: Russian Champagne, Eggs, Babka and Mushrooms and the Shrieking Cleaning Lady”
“Travels to a Different Time ” : 18June1975: Warszawa, Poland: There are only “Professional Class Girls” Here! The Spitting Polish Weightlifting Champion: Chicken Throat Soup
Woke up today in a very creaky bed. All seven beds in the room make loud creaks when you move in them. An American from Deerfield, Illinois crashed into the room at midnight. Along with my new Polish friend and the American we took the tram and went to another youth hostel that charged 25Continue reading ““Travels to a Different Time ” : 18June1975: Warszawa, Poland: There are only “Professional Class Girls” Here!
