desc2[0]="Welcome to Kazimierz Dolny!";
desc2[1]="This is the main square of the lovely of town of kazimierz Dolny, once a great trading town on the banks of the Vistula (Wisła) River.";
desc2[2]="There are plenty of places to explore in and around this miniature town, like this lane leading to the former synagogue.";
desc2[3]="The number of places to eat is unusually high for such a small town in Poland, but such is the result of its popularity with people from Warsaw and elsewhere. This is a great bakery that has also become a cafe, restaurant and small hotel.";
desc2[4]="There are a number of small cafes on the main square where you can relax and watch the world pass you by when you need that break.";
desc2[5]="But while you are there, don't forget to admire the Renaisance architecture on offer, because this was the period of the town's greatest wealth and influence on the grain trade along the river from the capital of Krakow and the seaport of Gdansk.";
desc2[6]="You do not have to wander very far from the centre to discover how quickly the town becomes rural, and welcomingly shady in hot weather";
desc2[7]="The small Franciscan church and monastery overlooks the town from the south, and you are free to wander around the cloisters and even purchase their homemade balsam (for internal or external use).";
desc2[8]="Overlooking the main square from the north is another church, with a mix of Renaisance and Baroque architecture and furnishings. If you keep following the road past the church you will discover the castle with its separate round tower.";
desc2[9]="Kazimierz has long been a centre for artists, mainly catering for the tourist market, and was once home to many cultures. Want to have your future foretold? It's 'You will come to Kazimierz!'";
desc2[10]="If you can play an instrument then maybe you would like to try your hand at busking - you will not be alone. Alternatively you can listen and encourage the one's already there to widen their repertoirs.";
desc2[11]="Kazimierz has a thriving school of basket making, and it can be hard not to buy one. Can't you see one of those sitting on your table, or sitting in your fireplace full of your own flower arrangement?";
desc2[12]="This part of Poland is geographically loess - that's sandy soil to you and me. A combination of rainwater and man's attempts to drive wagon's up and down the hills has formed a magnificent system of gulleys on the outskirts of town. You can walk them, go by horse and cart or even by 4WD.";
desc2[13]="This is the Vistula, and this is one of the former water buses that used to ply between here and Pulawy until the 1990's. Now they are used for short tourist trips, and many have been made to look like pirate and viking ships.";
desc2[14]="All the sandy beaches are on the other side of the river, or further upstream. Luckily there are several ferries, including one that can take cars.";
desc2[15]="Kazimierz id a cool place to get married, and there is no shortage of hotels, restaurants and activities for your guests. There's even a choice of churches!";

desc3[0]="Welcome to Naleczow!";
desc3[1]="Naleczow was created as a spa town in the early 19th century in a delightful valley populated by a number of healthy springs. This might look like a small palace, but in fact it is the old bath house. Can you imagine staying here?";
desc3[2]="This town is all about relaxing and feeling better, it has a great micro climate and any number of 19th and early 20th century villas waiting for you to discover.";
desc3[3]="This is the the 'new' bath house, and it overlooks the lake. And yes, they are towels you can see drying in the windows, because you can stay here for your treatment too.";
desc3[4]="The lake is a nice feature of the park, and sometimes they have boats you can row around the island and too close to the fountain...";
desc3[5]="The main spa, which surounds the park, is still expanding and now has a place you can come and swim, bowl and relax by the bar.";
desc3[6]="Sundays can be very crowded in the Summer, as it is popular among people living in Lublin and Warsaw. On other days it is more laid back, though, and easier to find a seat in one of the cafe's.";
desc3[7]="Wherever you go in the park you will find spa facilities, many from the 19th century and some from the 1970's as well.";
desc3[8]="Hidden behind the palm house is another secret, and that is the love well. It's a little stark and unloved,but...";
desc3[9]="The water really does work - at least it worked for us! Dare you take the risk?";
desc3[10]="The park is home to many pieces of sculpture. Meet the delightful ladies of Naleczow, newly sprung from a fountainous spring!";
desc3[11]="There are also more modern pieces, some more sinister. This is 'communist boots stamping on the embryo of life', or that is how I interpret it.";
desc3[12]="This is a cafe specialising in tea, which makes more sense when spoken in Polish. ";
desc3[13]="However, there are also more imposing places to sip your tea or coffee, this is an old villa a short distance from the park and notable as once being home to Boleslaw Prus, a well-known Polish author.";
desc3[14]="And this is Boleslaw Prus, the chap on the right, rendered in bronze and ready for you to sit beside and be photographed. He's really quite cuddly.";
desc3[15]="This is the former home of another author, the less cuddly Stefan Zeromski. His bust in the park could scare young children and looks a little like Lenin annoyed.";
desc3[16]="Naleczow has always been home to the wealthy, people who could afford their Mary and Child almost life-size.";
desc3[17]="One of the influences on villa architecture here was Tatra Mountain style. Some of them let rooms to visitors, and maybe one day that might include you.";
desc4=new Array();
desc4[0]="Welcome to Puchaczow!";
desc4[1]="Puchaczow is a village in the Leczna gmina, between Lublin and Wlodawa. It was once a town, but that was long before the development of what we now consider a town.";
desc4[2]="Today, Puchaczow is very rural and is surrounded by meadows where storks come to nest and hunt during the Spring and Summer.";
desc4[3]="It still retains the grid-like layout of a town from the late middle-ages, but business is mainly restricted to farming.";
desc4[4]="Most houses are still made of wood, althougnh more modern ones use brick or blocks.";
desc4[5]="There are even still several log cabin style cottages, the most traditional form of construction.";
desc4[6]="Although most of the wooden houses once had roofs of thatch or wooden tiles, most of these have been replaced at some stage by steel or asbestos.";
desc4[7]="The steel roofs are galvanised and last for many years - but not forever!";
desc4[8]="The windows are low because once the thatch roof would have extended to within a metre or so of the ground.";
desc4[9]="Many of the cottages are decaying in the village because younger people move away or build new, more modern houses. Sometimes they are built by wealthier people looking for a holiday home, or are sometimes knocked down to make room for more modern building.";
desc4[10]="Gardens are mainly devoted to vegetables and herbs, or chickens and outdoor chores.";
desc4[11]="This is a traditional barn.";
desc4[12]="Villages that were once towns can easily be spotted, because generally only towns ever had their streets named";
desc5=new Array();
desc5[0]="Welcome to Swidnik!";
desc5[1]="Swidnik is a 'new town', laid out in the 1950's with wide streets and imposing buildings to impress everyone with the power of the new communist state.";
desc5[2]="A combined aircraft and motorcycle factory was built, although by the 1960's they had largely switched from aircraft to helicopters.";
desc5[3]="But Swidnik conceals a secret, before it became a new town it was a vacation village for the well heeled of Lublin and beyond.";
desc5[4]="Many of the timber villas from that era still exist, in various states of repair.";
desc5[5]="There has been a lot of private building in Swidnik, as well as the essential housing blocks.";
desc5[6]="As a communist new town, Swidnik was short of churches, but that has since been rectified.";
