we returned from poland 2 weeks ago, glad we didnt see this before we went as it would have scared the hell out of us.
To be honest our trip wasnt the best, the roads over there were absolutely ridiculous. We flew into Warsaw but were staying in bielsk podlaski (180 km drive each way). The roads were very badly maintained but the driving was the biggest concern. Its a single carriageway road with what looks like a cycle lane to the side. You find your self frequently in the cycle lane/ditch as oncoming traffic just drive at you to overtake. We have a video of a lorry on the wrong side of the road overtaking 3 other lorries and the oncoming traffic driving in the ditch to avoid!!
The people were not welcoming at all. Nobody even attempted to speak english to us (i know its arrogant that we expect this but it is the norm in more common places such as greece/spain etc). didn't see any beautiful parts of the country at all, was all grey and nasty. We went into Warsaw City. Which was a strange mix of nice new buildings and really horrible looking high rise flat type buildings.
