I have wanted to visit Bialowieza Forest for some years, particularly the central, protected reserve. Thanks to help from Tomasz (see below) I was also able to visit the Biebrza Marshes, go bison-tracking, visit the Polish Mammal Institute, see the work of an amazing local landscape photographer, and experience a bit of local culture too. Oh, and a few industrial-type shots, as I happen to like these.

I love the country and the people (the food and variety of vodkas is rather good too!), and it was great to explore a new part of it. I shall be back for new adventures as soon as possible, and already have the next itinerary planned!

Thanks to Tomasz at Bialowieza Travel for organising the best possible trip, with fantastic, knowledgeable guides, great food, and plenty of vodka: http://www.bialowieza.com.pl/en/about.html
