Tourist Information in my Guides

Transport

In order to explore and write articles for David's Travel Guides I have found getting around the various countries I have visited usually easy.

Airlines flying from the UK to many places in Europe include British Airways and is well known for its service right around the world flying to many destinations.

WizzAir is an east European low cost airline based in Hungary flying from Luton, East Midlands, Gatwick, Liverpool, Glasgow and now Norwich. You may find them cheaper by booking in advance. They continue to grow inside Europe.

Ryanair is not one of my favourite airlines to fly with as they left me stranded in Estonia a few years ago but they are hard to beat on price. I only use them now if I have to.

Long-distance international coaches continue to operate between London and Europe despite the effects of Brexit. The pan-European coach network Flixbus operates a daily coach services from London to places inside Europe including Romania. Sindbad-Eurobus is one of the largest Polish companies in the long-distance coach service traffic. I use National Express here in the UK. Eurolines is the overseas operator of National Express.

David's Travel Guides can do no better than send you to Seat61.com for rail travel information on London to Warsaw and Poland by train. You will find very helpful details on the site. I wish that airlines and other travel providers would treat their customers with the respect that this man does.

About Me

I started to get interested in tourist websites around 2004 and paid over £4,000 for my first site, a huge mistake so I began to teach myself how to build websites using CMS and HTML, Joomla and now WordPress. Although I have now reverted back to HTML static sites for their simplicity and speed. I administer another site, Friends of St Anne's Hospital, is about a charity run hospital in Tanzania. .

Created in July 2009 originally under the name of WebPoland, and until October 2014 called Poland Explorer, now goes under the name Poland Travel Guide and is now a part of David's Travel Guides. I traveled to Poland for over ten years visiting the country two or three times a year to gather information and experience the culture of the country. So Why, “Poland Travel Guide”, you may ask? It is strange how our course in life can be changed by someone else but that is what has happened to me and so I embarked upon researching and learning about Poland Polska and the Polish and so created Poland Travel Guide. As for my Polish friends, I wish them and their families all the best for the future and will always remember you all and be grateful for giving me an interest in your country. Take care of each other and may God bless you and your families where ever you go.

After visiting Poland for about ten years I found a Romanian friend and so I wanted to explore this country as well. Unfortunately, COVID came along and also a number of medical issues for me, so Romania has been on hold since 2019. I did manage to visit Baia Mare in the north of Romania in September 2019 but that is as far as I have got. I hope to start my visits to this country soon.

I have not done much to this website over the past two years (2022) and am just getting back into it, making a number of changes and including my home country of England.

If you would like your own website about something that interests you but without a huge cost involved, you are most welcome to get in touch. My charges are low compared to many other web designers.

I have been a Christian since the age of eleven and although I struggle sometimes with my faith, I can honestly say that my God is with me and I have discovered many times his care for me when traveling far from home. He has made a fantastic world for us to live in but it does seem that we want to do our best to destroy it. I am not into “just religion” , for me it is about the truth.

Little Pillows was written in 1891 by Frances Ridley Havergal for children, adults too! This little bed time book was given to my mother by her auntie and handed down to me in 1970. I have read it a number of times since then as it is still relevant today as it was when first written.

Brexit

Boarders and different countries came about because of pride and attempt to reach God by man's own hands (Tower of Babel) so the Almighty confused their language. God offers us forgiveness and reconciliation with Himself and then requires us to care for others and try to get on with others no matter where they originate from.

In other words, God did not originally design people to be separate from each other, this came about because of man's sin.

In God's new world to come, there will be no divisions among people and we will be united under Christ. No fighting, no borders, no wars, no discrimination. God's new world will be at peace and those who love God in this world will get on together without any problems.

This is why I like to travel and visit other countries and associate myself with different nationalities and cannot understand why a multicultural country like Britain wishes to leave Europe. Sure, not all is well with the EU but turning your back on 27 neighbours makes no sense to me.
