Dear friends,
I am glad to forward following offer from our Polish friends to our group.
We can have a common vacation like we did it last time in Skopelos, Greece with
a lot of fun.
Date would be Mid of July (14-07-04 - 24-07-04). We know that this is really
close to the RI congress in the Netherlands but we hope that this is no problem.
Deadline for registration is really early (February). Mike is expecting a price
increase after Poland will join the European Community in May. So it seems to be
important to get everything booked earlier.
Thanks to Mike for his work and planing. Unfortunately I cannot send the
pictures of hotel and landscape to our yahoogroup.
Hope you like this offer.
In case of any questions please feel free to ask Mike or me.
Best regards,
Markus

"Summer Night" offer
Place:
Our summer holidays would be in a really small village called Sól (Salt in
polish). It is on the west-south part of Poland, near a Slovakian border in
Beskidy Mountains. There are beautifull views, many interesting mountain trips
to make, river Sola and cities like Wisla (place of living Adam Malysz- polish
great ski jumper), Zywiec, Bielsko and few more. The region is rather very
peacefull and natural. It's not a hudge touristic place. I think that this is
the best feature.

Place of accomodation:
I spoke with my friend, whose mother have a small privat hostel there, There is
34 beds in 3 double rooms, 4 rooms x 3 beds, 4x4 beds. Rooms are on 3 levels.
There is a bathroom with shower or bath on every level.

Other rooms in house:
There is a pool table (price included), kitchen, big room for meals and partys,
area of burnfire and grill outside the house, ping pong table (new) and many
green places to sunbathing. I have some pictures but they were took in late
autumn so the weather isn't good.

Price and term:
Term - (wednesday)14.07.2004 - 24.07.2004(saturday)

30E/day and 35E/day for double bed room
In this price you have:
- meals 3 times a day (very very tasty, many polish dishes)
- accomodation
- atractions*
- care and company of young friends from my studies (everyone speaks english,
also some of them knows german and french)

Attractions included:
Everything depends of how many people will come. If there'll be 15 persons I can

Special atractions:
If you want I can arrange:

guide, transport) - approx. 30E/per person

very healthy, transport, entrence) - approx. 60E/per person
- traditional boat canooning on Dunajec river (transport, journey) approx. 80E/
per person

This trips are for all day and they are not included in price of accomodation.
But the price of this is rather cheap but the price depends on the number of
people.

Other:
I need to know your position to make some arrangments. So this is my invitation
to you. Please give me respond if you are interested. I think that Poland may
offer you very many beautiful places. I'm organising it by myself, Michelle and
few friends. Pawel of course would help me but this is not conected with Polish
Society of Retinitis Pigmentosa. Although only people from REY are invited. Age
of persons - 16 - 35. My special invitation goes also to people who I know and
who are more than 35: Stratis Hatziharalabous, Ywonne van der Wiel and Hans, Ann
Marie Houston and others.


Deadline of registration will be in February. I'll send you registration forms
and my bank account number. "Summer nights" can be possible only if more than
10 persons would come. You must get to Katowice by bus (eurolines have 50%
cheaper for handicapped) or by plane to Pyzowice in Katowice. I take you from
stations and we go together. If you have some questions don't hesitate to
contact me.
