I was right there. That creek between Poland and the Czech Republic
was completely dry. There is a nice bike trail that is on the Czech
side that runs parallel to the Polish border. Even at the border
post, the creek was dry. I have pics. I wish I could show them to
everyone now but these public terminals do not have Sony Memory Stick
slots.
I was about 1 meter from the PLCZ line on both sides. The DE side is
a little farther away. I do have pics from all three sides.
One sidenote: on the Polish road between Germany and the Czech
Republic, gas/petrol prices were listed in Euros--not zlotys.
I took photos of the rivers, markers, flags, monuments, and warning
signs. I´ll have to learn how to make a webpage or at least have one
of you tell me how I can post my pictures when I get back to Canada.
