The hostel where the camps were held, on the first day.

Most of the other "native speakers", all from the USA: Erin, Jess, Lucy, Sandy

On a walk up a local hill.

The view from the top!

Jess looking butch...

On the Polish "cultural evening".

Our room! I'm not always this untidy, I promise!

Agnieska, sports supremo.

Asia, camp leader.

Lukasz, musician extraordinaire.

Dominic, barman!

During the first week, we went for a bit of a trek to climb Mt. Snieska, centre-shot.

A lake about halfway up.

Considering we're not that high, I'm surprised there's any snow here!

Across the valley, a bit more snow.

Another ridge forming the Poland/Czech border.

Heading towards the summit.

That's where we're headed!

Erin standing in two countries!

That'll be me on my way to the Czech Republic.

Erin, Jess and Flat Stanley (!) on the border (we're not quite at the top of the mountain yet, by the way!).

Look, it's the Czech Republic.

Another climber admires the view while taking a rest.

Finally we reached the summit, with its rather bizarre UFO visitor centre.
