The visual tips for hitchhikers


While hichthiking to my farm you should take Gołdap direction and turn left in Stożne village. Between Olecko and Gołdap is big traffic, but between Stożne and Sokółki very little, so be prepared for 8km walk from Stożne to Sokółki and then 2km to my Rancho... :)


When you get to Sokółki, you need to turn left and continue your walk towards Czukty village... You will pass the village library, then schools, stadium and then continue your walk along gravel road to Czukty village...


This is the bus stop in Sokółki village. When you get off the bus, you need to go south - there will be road sign "Czukty" pointing where to go.

The Internet in Sokółki village

The civilisation reached Sokółki village and we have here very modern public internet cafe, even more modern than Olecko town has :)))



Spring Walk


Ufff... May is definately much warmer than April was, but I won't dare to sow anything outside until after 15 of May :) Some seedlings grow inside the house, in pots and plastic containers waiting for the warmer time to replant them outside. Days are warm enough, sometimes even hot, but nights sometimes are too chilly, or even frosty which is fatal thing for young seedlings.

Actually I was too anxious to take outside some seedlings and most of them died because of the morning frost! I had no idea, that while during the day is plus 30 C, at the morning can be minus 4 C. Now I have learned not to be too fast in taking seedlings outside... The seedlings which survived I have taken inside and wait until the risk of morning frost dissapear completely.


Yesterday I hitchhiked to the local town to pay loan. It was pleasant to walk while everything around is so nice smelling and flourishing...


Next to the Olecko Lake there is very cute walking path, good enough also for biking... I need to go around the lake one day! The lake is quite big and I am curious what is at the other lake bank...
