Arrived in Leszno

The team is now complete in Leszno.  Virginia and I drove in from Poppenhausen - 625 km and 8 1/2 hours.  The autobahns through Germany were good and we averaged around 95 km.hr for that portion of the trip with our little Fiat Doblo.  The Fiat does not have much power but also doesn't burn too much fuel.  It took about 3/4 of a tank to get here with the trailer in tow.

When we crossed the border into Poland, we called Jerzy who had arrived in Leszno from Jelenia Gora around 1430.

By the time we arrived at 1800, Jerzy had staked out our glider parking spaces and gone through the registration process.

He shepherded me through registration and then we headed back to our B&B where we met up with Polish crew members, a couple of University students from Bielsko.

We had a good dinner of home-cooked food and finally, our Team Captain Jarek arrived with Jerzy's glider in tow around 8:30.  So we are now all on site and Jerzy and I are registered and it looks like a flying day tomorrow,
