September 10, 2013*<\/strong><\/p>\n

Things have been changing really quickly.<\/p>\n

First, Greg couldn’t take me diving because of a sick girlfriend, so he told me to go rent a car.<\/p>\n

While looking for a car, he called me again and said he arranged for me to go with a diving group who was going to be diving in Crakow.<\/p>\n

“Igor, will take you… You will have fun,” Greg said.<\/p>\n

Who the hell is Igor?<\/p>\n

I walked around Downtown Warsaw, waiting for his call.<\/p>\n

\"Downtown

Downtown Warsaw<\/p><\/div>\n

I hooked up with Tusia and her boyfriend Wiktor; I was tired and crashed on their couch for several hours.<\/p>\n

I finally spoke with Igor and he said he was with a group of divers traveling to Crakow. <\/p>\n

We did had a slight problem with the details in English.<\/p>\n

He was going to pick me up at 7 PM on his way from up North.<\/p>\n

\"Wiktor<\/p>\n

Wiktor called Igor and questioned him – he didn’t believe there was any diving in Crakow.<\/p>\n

As it was explained to Wiktor, in Polish, they are a diving shop, traveling to Crakow to dive in a rock quarry called Zakrzowek – they were there on business, doing a one day “Discover SCUBA” event.<\/p>\n

OK, that made sense.<\/p>\n

Igor was late, but managed to pick me up around 10 PM.<\/p>\n

\"I<\/p>\n

Tusia and Wiktor were relieved – at least the van said “Diving” on the side.<\/p>\n

I got into the van; there were seven other divers in there.<\/p>\n

“So Jeff, do you like Vodka?” I was asked.<\/p>\n

“Yeah, of course, I’m half Polish,” I said.<\/p>\n

They handed me their community bottle of Vodka… and when in Poland, do as the Polish do.<\/p>\n

It was a two hour drive to Krakow, and when we arrived at the Diving Base, the bar was closed.<\/p>\n

\"Cheers!\"<\/a>

Cheers!<\/p><\/div>\n

They opened the bar just for us!<\/p>\n

There’s more to come… quality posts, not quantity posts.<\/p>\n

Just my warning – Never try and out drink a Pole!<\/p>\n
