The Lokit had a plan to divide to 2 separate teams, the Alpine one, and the Culture one. The Alpinea have a reservation to a hotel in the Italian Dolomites, and they're planning to ride the alpine roads free of baggage for a few days.
The Culture team is concentrating more on the undiscovered little gems of local culture.
The small Polish town was called Wloclawek. The lead of the Alpine-team left the town after one night, the second wave after second night, and the third wave seems to have taken permanent residence in the said little town.
But without the intensive research by the Culture people, I wouldn't be able to tell you about the horrific murder of one priest preaching against the communist regime some 25 years ago. His body was dumped to river running thru Wloclawek (Wiswa?). Now the location hosts a 20-meter cross, several memorial stones, and a memorabilia/beverage shop to commemorate him.
Lech Walesa made a statement: "The worst has happened. Someone wanted to kill and he killed not only a man, not a Pole, not only a priest. Someone wanted to kill the hope that it is possible to avoid violence in Polish political life."
Me personally (part of the Culture Advance Group) am now in Brno, Czech Republic.
