Pia nad Zalewem Koronowskim (Pia by the Koronowo Reservoir)

This time a few words about a much closer trip. Pia, along with her parents ;) was invited to her Uncle Ark's anniversary celebration. The party was organized at the charming Rybakówka agrotourism farm located directly by the reservoir, surrounded by impressive forest areas. Initially, we were not sure if we should stay overnight (the farm is located about 80 km from Toruń), but the wonderful air, the rustle of trees, and the gentle splashing of water encouraged us to take a moment to relax.

By bus, we can reach virtually any place in Malta (and Gozo) 24 hours a day. Each driver speaks excellent British English and generally exhibits a high level of personal courtesy. After these considerations, it may seem that everything speaks in favor of using the bus. However, there are serious drawbacks. The first and most significant issue is safety. Only one stroller can be accommodated
