"Zakopane, Wielczka, and Wroclaw," part two of my travel story on Poland, published in inTravel Magazine


The adventure across Poland continued with visits to Zakopane, Wieliczka, and Wroclaw. Zakopane, known as the winter capital of Poland, offered a unique blend of local culture, stunning landscapes, and delicious cuisine. The highlight was a hike in the Tatra Mountains, providing breathtaking views and encounters with local wildlife.

Next, the journey led to Wieliczka, home to the famous Wieliczka Salt Mine. This UNESCO World Heritage Site amazed with its underground city, all carved out of rock salt. The mine featured chapels, sculptures, and even a lake, all underground and made from salt.

The final stop was Wroclaw, a city known for its beautiful architecture and numerous bridges. The Market Square, with its colorful buildings, was a vibrant center of activity. The visit also included a fun city game of searching for the Wroclaw dwarfs – small figurines scattered throughout the city.

Throughout the journey, the bond between father and son strengthened, and the shared experiences created memories that would last a lifetime.

Sandra Brown Writes What She Likes

 

When you have more than 80 novels to your name—many of them bestsellers — you can write whatever you like. That’s what author Sandra Brown suggests every writer do.


"You have to write what you like. It's too hard and time consuming not to enjoy the work. You have to write what you'd like to read.”


And what does she like? In the beginning, she wrote romance novels that followed constrained outlines and formulas. "It’s more fun and more lucrative to write my own stuff for a broader audience." She's written under four pen names — but now, everything is published under Sandra Brown.


She still has a heart for romance, but now she also writes thrillers and mysteries. “A good writer won’t be pigeonholed into one genre. A good writer should stretch out.”


You can stretch out at Sandra’s website.
