European Adventure 2025: Days (9)-(10) The Black Forrest

 The flight to Warsaw Poland was a short one, only one hour, so before long I was on the ground and looking for the airport exit, which was not easy this time !!! The signs in this airport were very confusing that I ended up at the wrong end of the airport where passengers check in not leave!! It was rather embarrassing but I quickly went back around and found the right exit finally… First time this ever happened, oh well I said there has to be a first somewhere…. Might as well be Poland. The weather was not great so no reason to rush anywhere… especially that the destination is the black forrest so !! My ride eventually showed up and took me out of warsaw to a region called Zabiele Vielke (a dense pine and burch tree forrest northeast of Warsaw). This is where I will spend the next couple days searching for mushrooms and blueberries ! At first I did not know why it was called black forrest but eventually I figure it out!! It is a very dense forrest of pine and burch trees! The tronc of the pines can be dark or red and that of the burch is white !! The colors are quiet interesting and when the wind blows the trees whistle in the wind …. Here are some pictures from the black forrest… no luck with blueberries but mushrooms plenty but small and some  just showing up …
